Bobby Bovell was the big winner at last night’s JUMP Music Video Awards, taking home three awards. The massive haul included the prestigious Music Video of the Year prize for the track Love Love. Yes, we totally called it. Another of the evening’s standouts was Sarah Téibo who picked up two gongs – both for…

Review: Sarah Téibo and Lisa McClendon @ Glory House, London
They say honesty is the best policy. That’s usually the case but in gospel music, artists are sometimes tempted to gloss over the issues they have and get on the stage. Last night’s Premier Gospel live show was a refreshing change where the headline artists, Sarah Téibo and Lisa McClendon were very candid in the…
Review: Big Church Day Out 2016
Don’t let anybody tell you that putting up a tent in the middle of a downpour is fun. It isn’t. Far from it, actually. But that was the prelude to what was an otherwise near perfect weekend. And we’re not just talking about the weather. This year, the Big Church Day Out was two full…
Here’s why you should be excited about the debut Sarah Téibo album
We’ve heard the first ever album from gospel newcomer Sarah Téibo, which comes out in May. And we like it. Here are our top reasons why you should share our enthusiasm for Walk With Me. It’s fresh Yes, it’s a new album. But more important than that, it’s from a new artist who has made…
Review: Premier Gospel Awards
It was a night the UK gospel industry was waiting for for a long time. And when it came, it delivered. The first ever Premier Gospel Awards took place last night in front of a sold out crowd at the Hub in East London. But it wasn’t just about giving out prizes, it represented a…
Review: A Star – Revolutionary Live, Islington
If someone told A Star back in 2007 that he’d be rolling out on a hoverboard in front of a packed O2 Academy crowd, he probably wouldn’t have believed it. You could probably work that out from his face when he entered the stage at his first headline show last night. This wasn’t a destination…
Review: Faith Child – Airborne Tour, London
The problem you usually have when you have a lot of tracks that feature guest vocalists is live performances. If the guest can’t make it, you have to pipe their voices in or even sing them yourself. Faith Child didn’t have that problem. He filled his stage with the very best of what the UK…
Review: S.O. Live in London – Christmas Edition
With a new album under his belt, it only seemed right for S.O. to do another headline gig in London. It was only his second ever one and the venue was packed. Even so close to Christmas, the huge crowd acknowledged S.O. as one of the best this country has to offer. The set…
Review: V9 Collective @ Close Up
They say it’s possible to have too much of a good thing. That’s definitely the case with some things, like ice cream. You’re going to have to take our word on that one. The good news is that after seeing V9 Collective twice in a short space of time, we don’t feel like we’ve overdone…
Review: Kirk Franklin @ Gospel Fest, London
It’s not every day you get to experience a member of gospel music royalty live but that’s what happened when Kirk Franklin came to the UK as part of Gospel Fest. On the day of the Queen’s honours list, someone who deserved to be knighted is Richie Dan after last night. Although the venue did…
Review: Premier Gospel Week 2015
Writing a review of an entire week’s worth of events is never easy, especially when so much took place. But it’s not an unpleasant situation to be in after what was a brilliant week of gospel music. This year’s Gospel Week is the second one to be arrange by Christian music radio station Premier Gospel….
Review: Big Church Day Out 2015
We gathered in our thousands, pitched our tents and prepared for what we expected to be an epic weekend of great music and a lot of fun. We got it by the bucket-load at this year’s Big Church Day Out. The eagled eyed readers of the Sound Doctrine will know that it has been five…
