What’s Being said... If however there was ever any doubt that music binds together but also uplifts, then step forward the Gospel Diva, Lea Gilmore. There was simply no one who better embraced the spirit of Common Ground more than the effervescent, dynamic and energetic Lea Gilmore. This was music and personality in overdrive. Singing solo or as part of Sangmele or performing the musical equivalent of 'silk purses out of sows ears' in training a Scottish Gospel Choir fit to perform in public in a total rehearsal time of two and a half hours, she was immense. Such a musical experience could cut waiting lists in the health service overnight. This was so therapeutic but, more importantly .it offered the kind of insight into another culture that can only come from participation. It was a cultural sharing that went far beyond enjoyment and musical fulfillment. It was a blessing and gift from a talent so freely shared.
