Broadband is now an ubiquitous fact of life, and once again, it's time

to step up the UKGospel.com game.

 

Rich media content

has always been my dream:

 

On-demand audio and video has a natural place alongside the text-and-image offering that

you’re used to here.  

 

I’ve waited a few years for this season to arrive.

 

So now that you can

play stuff on your PC or download it to your iPod without even thinking twice about it, it’s time elevate the UKGospel.com experience.

More heated debate about women on the UK scene (Yinka actually tells Tolu to 'SHUT UP!'),

 

What can the UK learn from the slump in parts of the US industry,  UK gospel going to the mainstream...

 

How the new generation of artists are driving the industry, and why are artists not celebrated on retirement, and a new initiative: the UKG Hubs Project...
