Reading Community Gospel Choir and a Prince tribute (17/04/2026)

Kamilah McInnis is joined by Nicole Sanderson, director of Reading Community Gospel Choir.

Kamilah McInnis is joined by Nicole Sanderson, director of Reading Community Gospel Choir. The choir won Songs of Praise gospel choir of the year in 2019 and is preparing for a special concert over the May Bank Holiday weekend.

This week marks 10 years since the death of Prince, one of the most prolific artists of all time. Kamilah takes listeners through some of his greatest hits and the stories behind them.

Culture reporter Kesewaa Browne also drops in to talk about the new film You, Me & Tuscany, which marks a significant return to the big screen for black-led romantic comedies.

For great music, good energy and news from our African and Caribbean communities, join Kamilah every Friday from 7pm-10pm.
