THE YEAR 2017 IS proving to be the year of transformation in the gospel music industry in Jamaica.
With the number of Christian entertainment events around the island constantly on the rise, the Hi-Pro Denbigh Gospel Extravaganza continues to be a well anticipated staple in the yearly line-up of activities for the Denbigh Agricultural, Industrial and Food Show.
Set to take place on Sunday, August 6 at 6:00 p.m., the event will feature a number of heavyweights in gospel music who are on the move in 2017. The show will be produced by pioneers of Christian entertainment, Glory Music, led by Tommy Cowan.
This year, MCs Ity & Fancy Cat will set the tone throughout the night for the Hi-Pro Denbigh Gospel Extravaganza. With Ian ‘Ity’ Ellis proudly confessing his faith since 2016, patrons will not only be fully entertained by one of Jamaica’s favourite comedy duos, but will be encouraged in their faith.
