UNITED CARIBBEAN TRUST -Gospelfest

WITH a delicate blend of Bajan food and great gospel music, a joyous noise was made unto the Lord at the climax of Gospelfest yesterday.

More than 3 000 worshippers from Barbados, Britain, the United States and the Caribbean converged on Farley Hill National Park, St Peter, for One Awesome Day.

With overcast skies and dampness on the grounds, worshippers travelled with blankets and sheets while enjoying music and a picnic-like atmosphere. Occasionally, sunshine peeped through, but there was no rain up to mid-afternoon.

Vendors set up their stalls, providing chicken wings, hot-dogs, hamburgers, snacks, sweets and drinks for patrons who did not pack lunch.

On the stage, there was a variety of musical ministry for all to enjoy, from reggae, R&B, pop, rock, dance hall, calypso and standard from local chorales and others from overseas. Even emcee Ronnie Clarke of Gospel 790 AM added his voice with a song which focused on his undeniable love for Jesus. It was based on his brother Rupee's Tempted To Touch single.

Some parents brought play-pens for their young ones and there was a supervised Children's Way area with fun, friendly activities.

In addition, the Gospelfest Committee made the official T-shirts of the festival in a variety of colours, CDs, tapes, books and arm bands available for a reasonable fee.

Religious-oriented station from Jamaica, Love 101 FM, was on hand to transmit a live broadcast to listeners back home.

Some of the performances included a spiritual dance by Praise Academy Of Dance Barbados, The Soul Winners, Simon The Prodigy Alleyne, Lady Richard, and Danah (also from Barbados); Michelle Jean-Marie (Britain), Agincourt Voices (Canada), and gospel tracks by DJ Marshy Redz (Jamaica).
