Giant is Music for London’s in-House Gospel ensemble. This Dynamic group of musicians comprises well seasoned professionals brought together under the watchful eye of Charmain their creative consultant. Through Giant they cater for Wedding, Funerals, and Christenings, Dedications and Baptism and Corporate events. They offer industry standard recording facilities and the personnel to deliver projects on time and agreed budgets.

The Ensemble began life purely to meet demand for Gospel Music as requested by visitors to www.musicforlondon.co.uk. The group would expand or contract depending on the need of the client. They can be a 24 piece Choir Singing O Happy Day at a Major Corporate event such as the Ikon sales Conference or the Saatchi TV commercial or a 6 piece band for a wedding in Canterbury.

The core group is made up of some extraordinary vocalists and musicians coming mainly from in and around London and most of them with singing mainly in Gospel Churches. They are all professionals who have performed with many well known artists musicians who devote many hours individually and collectively each week in rehearsals to produce an exceptional repertoire.

They like new experiences and new challenges, committed Christians; they believe that sharing their faith means sharing their lives. Determined to take as much from life as God will give them and then equally determined to give back more than they were given. This is immediately apparent in the music they make, as you listen to them, you will find yourself immersed in their passion, lifted by their joy, finally to stand with them to sing of hope, peace, freedom and love. Together they live up to their name, carrying big hearts in their chests, with big ambitions on their mind and taking big steps into the future- They are Giant

“There is no music like that music, no drama like the drama of the saints rejoicing, the sinners moaning, the tambourines racing, and all those voices coming together and crying holy unto the Lord. There is still, for me, no pathos quite like the pathos of those multi-coloured, worn, somehow triumphant and transfigured faces, speaking from the depths of a visible, tangible, continuing despair, of the goodness of the Lord.

 

I have never seen anything to equal the fire and excitement that sometimes, without warning, fills a church, causing the church (as Leadbelly and so many others have testified) to ‘rock’. Nothing that has happened to me since, equals the power and the glory that I sometimes felt when, in the middle of a sermon, I knew that I was somehow, by some miracle, really carrying, as they said, ‘the Word’ – when the church and I were one. Their pain and their joy were mine, and mine were theirs. They surrendered their pain and joy to me, I surrendered mine to them – and their cries of ‘Amen’ and ‘Hallelujah’ and ‘Yes Lord’ and ‘Praise His name!’ and ‘Preach it brother!’ sustained and whipped on by solos until we all became equal, wringing wet, singing and dancing, in anguish and rejoicing, at the foot of the altar.”
