Manchester Christmas Gospel

A festive gospel programme hosted by Wayne Ellington, mixing seasonal favourites with gospel, soul, R&B, reggae and pop, staged at Band On The Wall in Manchester's Northern Quarter.

Manchester's Christmas Gospel is a seasonal musical event presented by Wayne Ellington as host. Familiar Christmas songs are reworked with gospel harmonies and powerful vocals, and the programme also draws on soul, R&B, reggae and pop. The emphasis is on voices and on a lively, celebratory mood that invites the audience to join in and move along.

The line-up combines special guests who have performed alongside major international artists with some of Manchester's emerging performers. Each act is there to share the festive material in its own style, so the evening moves between sacred gospel, soul ballads and upbeat seasonal numbers.

The event takes place at Band On The Wall, a music and performance venue in the Northern Quarter. It will appeal to anyone who enjoys gospel and soul, and to those looking for a festive programme with a local flavour in the run-up to Christmas.
