ROSE HALL, St James — GOSPEL artiste Kevin Downswell gave an outstanding performance at the recent staging of the Come Celebrate Jesus gospel concert at the Rose Hall Convention Centre here, as hundreds of people crammed the facility for praise and worship.
The 2003 Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC) gospel winner, who performed for almost 40 minutes, had nearly everyone on their feet during his energetic set.
Taking the stage to rousing applause, Downswell opened with You Are Lord then moved into God Is Moving. By then the large, appreciative audience became fully engaged, dancing and waving hands, as they joined the outstanding gospel singer in his next song, If It’s Not You.
His set also included Joy, I Can Feel the Glory, before closing with the very popular You Make Me Stronger.
Earlier, the Singing Jewels opened the concert, followed by the Leharia Singers, a group of Seventh-day Adventist members, before Clive Warren, the JCDC 2006 gospel winner, took the stage.
There were also strong performances from Donette Thompson-Hall, a Jamaican living in Canada, who interacted well with the audience, as well as Grenadian Shirley Simpson, a country gospel singer.
Internationally renowned minister and gospel artiste Ron Kenoly, who is no stranger to Jamaica, also delivered a splendid set, scoring heavily with Lift Him Up, God Is Able and Anointing Fall On Me.
