Woo!
Eh?! Don't worry about that, Luis!
Hey, guys, welcome!
Good to have you!
Thanks for having us.
You haven't had to come from far. Let's go and have a chat.
So, at Liverpool Lighthouse, we aim to be a creative sanctuary.
So, singing for wellbeing, arts & crafts, we provide free hot meals for the community,
and then we run a pantry.
We also have programmes for people for whom English is a second language,
so you might know something about how difficult it might be to communicate.
So, I know you have connections with music...
Now I've got a bit more music in the family.
I'm a bit more in the industry now, I know what's going on...
- You know what's going on! - Know a bit more about what's going on...
We really want to celebrate gospel music because it's under-represented.
We're going to do a gospel music festival and hold it annually,
and [it will be] the first in the country.
I think I might take you upstairs to hear them sing a note or two...
I'm always open for new ideas, you know? Always open.
But you know, music isn't all we do here,
so I'm going to go and warm up the choir,
and then you guys go and see the rest of the place.
Heads down, thumbs up.
Heads up.
Oh, my God!
How is everyone though, good? What's everyone been drawing?
This looks good.
Nice.
That's good colouring, that, I couldn't colour like that.
Just don't look at the ends and sides!
I speak Portuguese.
Portuguese?
Well, I'm not fluent, but...say stuff.
Hang on, you said you're not fluent!
Sounds pretty fluent to me!
♫ Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
♫ Hallelujah, he is wonderful. ♫
Very good!
Hi, guys.
- Oh, my God... - How are you?
That was good, I was bringing the backing vocals then, you know!
So come and have a chat, guys, come and have a chat.
But d'you know what, we know that you play an instrument as well, you know...
Come on, come on!
He's going to tell you when to play, so let's just do the first of the double 'Hallelujah'.
ALL: Woo!
Eh?! Don't worry about that, Luis!
Come on.
He was doubting me, he doubted me for a second.
Very nice, bro.
One, two, three...
Two, three...
♫ Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
♫ Halle-lu-jah, he is wonderful. ♫
ALL: Woo!
- It's difficult! - Very difficult.
Been a few years.
So how did you enjoy that, how did you enjoy the music?
Really, really good. Alisson plays it nonstop in the changing room.
Oh! That's amazing.
So, 'hallelujah' is what I hear most days in the changing room.
Yay!
From Ali, so... No, it's where a lot of soulful music comes from.
All of us have in common that we love singing gospel music,
and that's what we feel it should be about, we feel it should open to absolutely everyone.
So we're setting up a gospel music festival, we hope it's going to be at Stanley Park,
it's open to all, it's gospel music, celebrating it as a genre.
We've obviously heard about it, and the guys down at Vista
wanted to do something very special for you and the Liverpool Lighthouse.
"All of us at Team Vista are truly inspired by the great work you do
"for the people in your community.
"So you can make the UK's first mainstream gospel music festival a huge success,
"Vista will be supporting the event with design and marketing, and that's not all."
- We want to offer you...£10,000. - Ohhh, thank you!
Hopefully you can put it to good use.
Thank you so much, I really, really appreciate that.
Good stuff, keep up the good work.
