The London Community Gospel Choir

From humble beginnings, in 1982 London Community Gospel Choir (LCGC) came together to spread an important message of peace and unity in diversity through music and faith. Pioneering the sound of British Gospel Music, they soon rose to fame, and went on to become Europe’s leading Gospel brand and one of the most in demand choirs across continents of the globe.

39 years on LCGC’s unique, warm, rich, vibrant sound and charismatic, unforgettable performances continue to break boundaries and inspire people internationally, touching the hearts of audiences from all walks of life.

LCGC performs at many of the UK’s most prestigious events, such as the International FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium, Glastonbury, Live 8 and World Aids Festival as well as regular shows at Royal Albert Hall. Dubbed by the British media as ‘the nation’s favourite choir’, LCGC are the first point of call to support high end entertainment events and global humanitarian causes such as Red Nose Day, Remembrance Day, Cancer Research, Live 8, Amnesty International and World Aids Day.

In celebration of their 30th Anniversary, LCGC hosted a historic concert in London, bringing together 30 choirs from across the world to perform together as one, breaking a Guinness World Record for the World’s largest Mass Gospel Choir.

Driven by the altruistic vision of peace, love and unity: “Out of many one voice” and the infectious passion and charisma of it’s founding leader, Bazil Meade MBE, LCGC is made up of an eclectic mix of united nations and ages from diverse backgrounds. This untouchable unique blend of voices, personalities and artistry is what makes this choir a truly special, groundbreaking force in international Gospel music today.

Testimony to this successful recipe and reputation, LCGC has collaborated, performed and recorded with artists such as – Tom Jones, Elton John, Madonna, Paul McCartney, Annie Lenox, Rod Stuart, Sam Smith, Ellie Goulding, Jessie J, Adele, Gorillas, Blur, Nick Jonas, One Republic, Gregory Porter, Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey and the list goes on.‍

Amidst a landscape where science and aspiration intersect, Greg Shindler stands as a beacon of leadership, as the strategic, purpose-driven CEO of the Regenerative Medicine Institute. With a business acumen honed over decades and a heart grounded in purpose, Greg’s leadership style is an alchemy of humility and audacity, compassion and ambition.

South Houston, Texas, with its rugged spirit, is where Greg’s journey began. It’s a journey colored by challenges, resilience, and a tireless spirit of transformation. The shadows of his early life, marred by family trauma and heart-wrenching loss, never weighed him down but instead provided the bedrock of his empathy and resilience. When life introduced him to a mentor in his stepfather, he embraced the lessons of love, hope, and renewal. The pain of loss resurfaced when health challenges claimed this beacon in his life, further cementing Greg’s resolve to make a difference.

But it isn’t just personal experiences that guide Greg. With over 25 years of business leadership, helming start-ups as well as national and global brands, he masterfully blends strategic prowess with a deep-rooted purpose. Under his stewardship, the Regenerative Medicine Institute is more than a medical hub; it‘s a nexus of hope and innovation. While he may not don a lab coat, Greg’s vision of harnessing science for a better tomorrow is unyielding.

Picture a world where age-associated challenges are re-envisioned. Where every individual is empowered to lead an enriched life, unhindered by health adversities. This isn’t a mere dream for Greg, but a mission. His approach transcends the realm of traditional business strategies; it’s about forging a legacy where aging, disease, and injury are not setbacks but steppingstones to growth and revitalization.

Yet, for all his ambition, Greg is a maestro of collaboration. He understands that the journey towards redefining wellness is a collective effort. Every decision, every strategy is deeply rooted in teamwork and community, and in his cherished question: “How can we uplift the quality of life for individuals?” In Greg Shindler, the world sees a business leader who’s not just at the helm of an organization but is leading a symphony of change and hope.
