The University of York Student Gospel Choir brings together each week some 30-50 university students with a special interest in gospel choir music. With both voice and instrumentalists they produce the vibrant, rich and dynamic sound of the modern gospel choir. The choir has performed in both concert and church settings. Lead by Natasha Wilson you will find yourself tapping your feet to the unmistakable rhythms of gospel music.

 

Marilyn Baker is a gospel artiste of distinction. She became blind as a child but soon demonstrated a gift for music, which took her to the Royal College of Music and on into a teaching profession. She had a desire to communicate her faith though music and as a result began writing and performing her own songs. During the past 20 years Marilyn has travelled around the world, becoming one of Britain’s most popular and well-loved gospel singer-songwriters.

Marilyn has been recording her music for many years and will be performing songs from some of her latest CD’s. Each week she presents a Premier Radio Programme for Torch Trust for the Blind, called Insight. Its emphasis is encouragement and inspiration with stories and informative interviews of special interest to disabled people but inspiring to all.
