Premier Gospel Awards 2022: Amazing List – and an Amazing Miss?

The Premier Gospel Awards return after 2 years away with a brilliant 2022 nominee list, celebrating the absolute cream of the UK Gospel music crop (I don’t envy the voting panel – the nominees are strong across all the categories!). Overlooked However: it’s only right to point out that the Street Music category, a segment of the scene that remained vital and vibrant through the … Continue reading Premier Gospel Awards 2022: Amazing List – and an Amazing Miss?

It felt right because it’s setting out the UKGospel.com roadmap for – God willing – the next 5-10 years. Additionally, sharing my thought process this way lends itself to the feel of a story that’s unfolding almost in real time… … Continue reading Existential: the New UKGospel.com?

I live in the future. And it’s better than I thought it’d be…

Huge Dream Back in the day (as in: well over a decade ago), when I was publishing new music release information on the UK Gospel music scene, I had this huge dream to have a BIG problem. I realise that sounds counter-intuitive but stick with me. I longed for a time when I’d be pushing out updates about consistently high quality releases, so much so … Continue reading I live in the future. And it’s better than I thought it’d be…

Great ‘Mainstream’ Songs from Christian Artists

The debate around whether Christian artists should create exclusively evangelical (or at least overtly Christian) content is unlikely to be resolved this side of heaven. In the meantime I thought it’ll be interesting to launch this new series examining what actually happens when people who profess the Christian faith actually record music that – to coin a phrase – doesn’t ‘have Jesus in every line…’ … Continue reading Great ‘Mainstream’ Songs from Christian Artists

Grenfell Tower Fire: UK Gospel artists convert pain to action

The pain – for many, many of us – is still severely raw. Deeply uncomfortable questions are being asked of individuals and corporations, and even more so of local and national government. It all feeds into a tide of emotion that even now, several days later, remains highly volatile. Conspiracy theories and barely-checked rage fuel what many feel was a completely avoidable loss of so many … Continue reading Grenfell Tower Fire: UK Gospel artists convert pain to action

Why You (Still) Need Radio in Your Life (By the People Who Should Know): Soulcure Radio

In an age where you completely control every aspect of your audio consumption experience, why do you still need music radio..?

These days we’re spoilt for choice, with options for free and paid download services, or audio streaming via any number of platforms, most of which are (for the moment at least), free.

So why in the world would anyone need music radio? Continue reading “Why You (Still) Need Radio in Your Life – By Radio Station Owners (Part 2)”
