Choir performing at Leicester Cathedral - NHS Concert
What a year 2024 has been for the EAGA Gospel Choir! The choir was awarded the prestigious City Of Leicester Award for the work the choir has done in the city throughout the years. We have recorded our first album at the renowned British Grove studios in London, You are in for a treat in 2025! We have celebrated with couples and their families in their nuptials in diversely, stunning locations such as at the Sudeley Castle in the Cotswolds, Rothwell church and the Royal Wootton Bassett in Wiltshire. Additionally, we sang at our usual places including Melton Mowbray festivals, John Lewis Leicester store- where we performed in celebration of the Black history month. This contributed to them receiving Leicester’s Black History Awards 2024. We participated in a number of school assemblies and had some excellent workshops with students and members of the community.
The finale, however, was in December. The Christmas season has always been our busiest period, but this year in particular has been one of the busiest. The choir sang at over 30 events in December, sharing the joy of Christmas at carol services, restaurants, school workshops, charity events, hospitals, care homes, business offices , the John Lewis store, the Fosse Park shopping centre, parties, fairs and spontaneous Christmas sing-alongs. To add to all the fun we had the pleasure to perform at the Christmas family function of the famous boxer and former World Champion Anthony Joshua. Do check out snippets of the event on Instagram; it was a fabulous night: [AJ Christmas Vibes] and [AJ Photos]

We have so much in store for you in 2025. Just to highlight a few:
