UKGospel.com Existential (Part 2): You can only say what THEY want you to say…?

I had a completely different update to share this week about plans for this site However: something happened that gave me a disturbing glimpse into a possible future. Control your own narrative Now more than ever it’s critically important to have complete and direct control of your own narrative. Hopefully I’m preaching to the choir on this, but just in case you still doubt the … Continue reading UKGospel.com Existential (Part 2): You can only say what THEY want you to say…?

Existential: the New UKGospel.com? It’s the old UKGospel.com, actually…. (Part 1)

Existential: the future of UKGospel.com (Part 1) When I started writing this forward-look several weeks ago I opted to do it in stream of consciousness. 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?

UK Gospel Forward-Look: Exciting Trends for 2016

474

The UK Gospel scene frequently has to endure unhelpful comments about the state of its health, typically in the shape of (mainly uninformed) comparisons between it and the more mature US market: nothing ever happens here. Apparently.

Yinka Awojobi makes the case for exciting developments and continued optimism in 2016.

Good Thing

I haven’t done one of these annual forward-looks in so long it’s actually taking serious effort to get back into the swing of things.

The main reason? I hadn’t felt much of a need.  And that’s a good thing, trust me.

Let me explain: these days, getting your UK Gospel music industry news is nowhere near as challenging as it used to be. There are lots of good places to get it from.

Hello 2014, Goodbye UKGospel.com..?

In 2013 I seriously considered shutting down UKGospel.com It was an easy enough conclusion for me to reach: when I started the project back in 2000 it was one of quite literally only a handful of sites dedicated to featuring news, reviews, opinion and analysis on the UK Gospel music scene. Exciting But now, almost 14 years down the line, UKGospel.com is just one of … Continue reading Hello 2014, Goodbye UKGospel.com..?

16 Tweets to start your radio (and media) career…

Funny how things turn out…

If you’d told me just over a year ago that I’d be on radio presenting a breakfast show on one of the most recognisable Christian radio and media brands in the country I’d have laughed in your face.

After I’d slapped you for being ridiculous. Continue reading “16 Tweets to start your radio (and media) career…”

Do NOT listen: Pass Out Freestyle – Ejiro, Guvna B and Triple O

The plan was to sit in my local coffee shop and update UKGospel.com. I hadn’t done a proper update since starting my breakfast radio show at Premier Gospel three weeks ago (early start, late back home, shock to the system đŸ™‚ ). So, I’m in the coffee shop, and I’m editing features by Karl Nova and Henry Yanney. So far so good. Minor Distraction By … Continue reading Do NOT listen: Pass Out Freestyle – Ejiro, Guvna B and Triple O
