Details: Do you enjoy live music? Then Hot Gospel in a Cool Church is for you!

The event will be opened by Ed Worland, followed by Café of the Gate of Salvation.

Café of the Gate of Salvation are an a capella choir inspired by the African-American vocal tradition: the passionate, committed and exciting music of gospel and spirituals. This is music that has been at the heart of the movement towards political and spiritual freedom.

Formed in 1986, performing continuously since and touring extensively around Australia and New Zealand as well as overseas, the Choir will be in Manly for one night.

“...the music sends shivers up your
spine and shoots straight to the heart.”
