radioGospel music's popularity in Britain highlighted in The Times newspaper
THE TIMES newspaper for 26th October ran a feature on the increased
popularity in Britain of gospel music. Headed Praise The Lord - And Go
Platinum, the article by Kate Eshelby focussed mainly on the
forthcoming Gospel Gathering event to be held in London. The article
also reported, "Gospel is booming. And not just in the aisles. The
Official UK Charts Company is currently registering all gospel
outlets, which could see gospel flood the top 40 by the end of the
year."

I read the article... and it wasn't worth writing home about. It was basically just an extended plug for Sony BMG's big Gospel show happening at the O2 in a couple of weeks' time. If The Times really wanted to write an article showing the impact Gospel is having on people here, maybe they could have covered Greenjade's "Gunz Down" schools tour instead, rather than help a big multinational put bums on seats.
