Gospel Choir of the Year - Semi-Final
Mark De-Lisser hosts the Songs of Praise Gospel Choir of the Year 2023, judged by choir supremo Gareth Malone, soul singer Mica Paris and Christian rapper Guvna B.
The Songs of Praise Gospel Choir of the Year is back, hosted by Mark De-Lisser. In the first of two programmes, five of the best amateur choirs from across the UK take to the stage at The Monastery in Manchester. The choirs have to impress three celebrity judges – TV’s favourite choir master Gareth Malone; actress, performer and queen of soul Mica Paris; and MOBO award-winning gospel artist and Christian rapper Guvna B.
This week's five choirs each perform their take on a traditional hymn. Belfast Community Gospel Choir sing Amazing Grace, BIMM Birmingham Gospel Choir sing Abide with Me, EAGA Gospel Choir from Leicester sing a medley of In Christ Alone with Tis So Sweet, G Choir from Hull sing Take It to the Lord in Prayer, and Birmingham Community Gospel Choir sing Nothing but the Blood. Five fantastic choirs, but which one will be your favourite?
