Barbados
Gospelfest was established in
1993 by the Barbados Tourist Board (BTB). The festival was
the brainchild of the then Minister of Tourism Wes Hall, now
Rev. Wes Hall. In 1995 the responsibility for the production
of the festival was passed on to the Gospelfest Organising
Committee made up of persons from the Christian community,
chaired by Barbadian event manager Adrian Agard. Adrian was
at the Flame Awards 2006 to pick up the sought after
Vision Award. |
The event was divided into six presentations
covering various artists. Flame Awards are hoping that by rewarding
our Gospel artistes they would see the need to aim for excellence
in everything they do. CLICK
to meet the winners. |
