Country gospel music comes to Norwich
 SEP 07
Country Gospel music with one of the UK’s best country bands, Inheritance, came to Norwich on October 6, 2007, courtesy of City Church (Norfolk).
Formed in the autumn of 1994, Inheritance initially came together to perform a concert as part of a church outreach programme in Great Barr, Birmingham, where the band are based. They were so well received that they decided to carry on with the group and to work with local churches to perform concerts, church services and to minister in prisons in and around the Birmingham Area.
Country legend George Hamilton IV likes them: ‘In my opinion Inheritance are the best country gospel band I’ve heard in years from the UK.”
Inheritance have played several times in the last few years at the Whitby Gospel Music Festival and have been a great success. “Inspirational contemporary country music,” said one critic. “Their songs are storytelling, poetic, catchy, inspiring and singable,” said another.
The band’s material consists mainly of self-penned songs from band leader, Keith Slater, which in a very real and accessible way set forth the gospel and the joy and fulfilment to be had by being in a personal relationship with God through the spirit of Christ. Their songs are played regularly on UCB radio and have also featured in a BBC documentary.
The concert was held at City Gate Centre, 33 Cowgate, Norwich, NR3 1SZ (formally Wensum Chapel) on Saturday October 6, 2007 at 7pm (doors open at 6.30pm).
