The newly formed association of Ghanaian gospel musicians is preparing for its inauguration early next month. Consequently, some activities have been lined-up by members of the association to precede the inauguration.
Known as United Gospel Musicians Association (UGMA), the leadership of the association plan to do more than just singing to ensure that they have a successful inauguration.
At a meeting held recently in Accra to announce the inauguration activities, the General Secretary of the association Kwesi Ernest Annin asked members to take part to ensure its success.
He mentioned some of the activites as fun games at El-Wak Stadium on Saturday, Clean up exercise at Accra Central on September 24 and a float through the principal streets of Accra on September 30. The inauguration itself would take place along with a fund raising and dinner dance at the Nogahill Hotel at Dzorwulu on October 2.
The UGMA is an organization that seeks to foster unity among gospel musicians based in the Greater Accra Region. The aims of the association include building unity among gospel musicians on the field of their work and giving future for old and up coming gospel musicians, among others.
Andy Frimpong Manso, the PRO said the association embraces all gospel musicians including those who play instruments at churches. He mentioned also that the association was not set up to compete with the Musicians Union of Ghana, but they recognised the latter as the Umbrella body for all Musicians in the country.
Some of the member of the association (some of who were at the meeting) are Christiana Love, Tagoe Sisters, Hannah Marfo, Abena Amponsah, Collins and Ophelia Nyantekyi, Abawa Connie and Akosua Agyepong.
An eleven-member executive committe elected to steer the affairs of the young association include Ken Appiah (Chairman), Sampson Annor (Vice Chairman), Kwesi Ernest Annin (General Secretary), Aba Wood (Deputy General Secretary), Andy Frimpong Manso (PRO) and Theresa Tagoe (Deputy PRO).
