About the Choir

Ever since its formation in the early 1980s, the Wood Green Gospel Choir has striven to maintain its commitment to excellence in song. The choir consists of members who are all drawn from the Wood Green branch of the New Testament Church of God in North London, England. The choir is led by Colin Vassell, the choir director, with Isaac Carter providing musical support.

Over the last 10 years, the choir has performed all over England, with many appearances on television shows. such as Songs of Praise. They have also sung in concerts, festivals and fund-raising events throughout the United Kingdom. Overseas tours have been carried out to Belgium, Germany, Holland, France, Northern Ireland, Wales and South Africa. Their debut appearance at the Varese Gospel Festival in Italy in 2001 was followed by Pedova and the Czech Republic.
