The Re/counted project, led by Roger Moore the founder of GL360 and a proud Brummie, is keen to capture the development and growth of gospel music throughout the Midlands from the arrival of Windrush.
This brought back to me the the amazing exploits of a generation in UK music, after the struggle of the Windrush experience.
