ACM Gospel Choir
Varies in number according to your requirements, starting from six upwards. They created the most phenomenal atmosphere not only with their sound, but also their enthusiasm. I do hope our paths continue to cross, although there is always the risk you forget your own job as you get wrapped up in the atmosphere they create.
