We landed in London last night and went strait to The Swedish Seamen´s Church in Canada water to leave our bags and to freshen up after our flight.
Later on we went to a great Indian restaurant to celebrate our arrival and the start of our London "tour".
Today we´ve had an AWESOME day that started with a workshop together with our new friends in the London Youth Gospel Choir (www.lygc.org.uk).
Their musical director Naveen Arles tought us 2 new songs, Hymn to freedom (by Oscar Peterson) and later on Total Praise (by Rev. Richard Smallwood).
After that I (Marcus) stepped to the piano to teach the choir 2 songs. Lean on Me and When we believe.
When we believe was written by Lasse Axelsson (The co-founder of Stockholm Gospel festival - http://www.stockholmgospel.se/en)
Riddarholmen where this years festival will be held
It went really great and I am AMAZED by the LYGC that they learned the songs so fast.
It took about 2 times after me singing the tune for them to know the melodie and the harmonies = )
A BIG thank you to the LYGC team and members for welcoming us today.
We had a great time and this is just the start of something great!!!
Our vision is to bring them over to Stockholm in the future.
Now we´re all at the Swedish church here in London (http://svenskakyrkan.se/default.aspx?id=744561)
