ABOUT US
Zoe's Gospel Promotions exists as a not-for-profit organisation that was established in August 1999 with the objective of producing Gospel music for artistes in the UK. We also aim to promote the genre nationally whilst engaging members of the public both young and old and from multiple backgrounds in community music projects that are co-funded by Zoe Records and other grant bodies.

The participants have joined together to create an Olympic song that exemplifies their British values. We performed live showcases to the general public which were recorded and sold at the Grand Finale showcase.
JORDANS DEMEANOURS - Funded by the Heritage Grant
This was a three year research project into Black Gospel Music and how it impacted cultural black Britain, particularly within the church. The aim of this project was to interview members from the Windrush period who helped us to map out the timeline, experiences and growth of Black Gospel Music within the UK. A resource book was produced from this study as well as an online video documentary.
