HOT GOSPEL WINS GOLD AT INTERKULTUR!

We're thrilled to share this amazing news with you all, along with a message from our founder & director @helengarnett.bsky.social

#HotGospel #HullChoirCompetition #FaithInSong #GospelMusic #Gospel #AwardWinningChoir #ChoirFamily #ToGodBeTheGlory #Interkultur

We are absolutely thrilled to share that Hot Gospel has been awarded a GOLDEN DIPLOMA – Level I with an impressive 21.33 points in the Pop, Jazz & Gospel category at the Hull International Choir Competition 2025!

To receive such a high score in an international competition of this calibre is a huge honour, but for us, it’s always been about more than the music. This was an opportunity to share our faith, our ministry, and the message of gospel with people from all over the world, and we did just that.

We are bursting with pride for every single member of our incredible choir, and our phenomenal band, who have come an astonishingly long way in less than a year. What a journey it has been, and this is only the beginning!

To God be the glory. Thank you to all who have supported us!

🔊 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 🔊

We're really sorry to let you know that our concert @ All Saints Church, Bishop Burton on 2nd August 2025 has been cancelled for now - but we will be announcing an alternative date as soon as possible!

Please see the full announcement below for more details.

We’re really sorry to let you know that our upcoming concert on Saturday 2nd August at All Saints Church, Bishop Burton has been cancelled for now.

Sadly, with many people away over the summer, ticket sales have been lower than expected, and both the Church and For The Love of Gospel trustees felt it would be best to postpone rather than go ahead with a smaller audience. We want to give you the full, uplifting Hot Gospel experience - and that just wouldn’t feel right at this time.

If you’ve already bought a ticket, you’ll receive a full refund.
We’ll also be updating this event and posting details once we’ve confirmed a new date, so please do keep an eye on the page.

Thank you so much for your support and understanding - we can’t wait to sing for you soon with even more joy, energy and celebration when the time is right! 💛🎶

Heartfelt thanks,
Hot Gospel
