Bazil Meade, a boy, a journey, a dream.
On 21 September 2011, Bazil launched his biography at a spectacular event at The Brickhouse, Brick Lane. The Who's Who of UK Gospel and the media turned up to celebrate this achievement of the UK father of Gospel music.
Bazil, who celebrated his 60th birthday in May, has a busy year ahead of him, also releasing his first solo music project, a CD album to accompany the book. As the London Community Gospel Choir celebrates its 30th anniversary next year with a series of high profile events, Bazil's dream continues to grow and unfold. 'Truly an inspirational man who stops people in their tracks.' Sally Green, owner of Ronnie Scott's.
BAZIL MEADE: A BOY, A JOURNEY, A DREAM is published by Monarch Books, ISBN 978-1-85424-998-2
Available at lcgc.org.uk and in all good bookshops.

 Bazil Meade, The Album. EXCLUSIVE!
After the successful release of Bazil Meade's autobiography "A Boy, A Journey, A Dream", Bazil recorded acoustic versions of the song-based chapter titles of his book. The songs, a mixture of original material and rearranged spirituals, have a special meaning to Bazil. The album will be released early 2012 - but LCGC are giving fans the chance to purchase their copy now for Christmas.
If you've not yet purchased your copy of Bazil's book then get your autographed copy from LCGC’s shop! Bazil's journey has taken him from the cotton fields of Montserrat to the 2009 FA Cup Final where LCGC performed ‘Abide with Me’. He was born into poverty and a life that seemed hopeless but found his future fulfilled through his calling to music. Bazil left the Caribbean, bound for England at 9. He left home at13 due to a difficult relationship with his stepfather and moved in with his pastor who showed his first few chords on the piano. She prayed and laid hands on him and by the end of the evening he could play the piano. Within a fortnight he was performing in public. To this day, Bazil still can't read music and plays purely by instinct. He has worked with most of the greats - from Damon Albarn (Blur) to Beverly Knight - and his book carries some impressive endorsements. The perfect Christmas gift
