On the warm night of Saturday the 10th of July 2010 at the New Zanzibar Banqueting Suite, Sydenham, London, the UK reverberated to the new sound of African Gospel Music. The night took off on time as planned despite the closing of the Blackwall tunnel which had paralyzed London with heavy traffic. Guests were ushered into the presence of God with music by Wole Awolola and his team followed by performances by Andrew Bello, Diana Hamilton, Esther, DTWG, Rebecca, Gabriel Eziashi, Uche ‘Double Double’ Agu, and Sonnie Badu, interspersed with awards in the various categories.
The icing on the cake was when 3 giants of African gospel music namely Sonnie Badu, Gabriel Eziashi and Uche Agu joined hearts, minds and voices together on stage to lead the guests in a time of worship; it was a sight, a sound and an atmosphere to behold. The night has truly made a statement and has set the tone for the growth of African Gospel music internationally. Roll on next year’s awards
