Youthful Spirit is an award winning Gospel Choir from Churchill Community School, North Somerset, England.

About

Founded in 1998 by Alison Cooper, Head of Music at the school, Youthful Spirit has a wide repertoire ranging from Swahili, A cappella to the likes of Stevie Wonder, Cyndi Lauper and other pop influenced songs. The choir create CD's of their work: "... You Caught Me In the Groove", 2000, "Sweet Rhythms", 2003, "Song of the Sunrise", 2006 and "Blessed", 2008. The CD's were originally recorded in Weston College and Worle Community School until the 2006 "Song of the Sunrise" which was recorded in the school with the construction of the new Performing Arts building and Recording Studio. "Song of the Sunrise" was recorded at the school and the local St John the Baptist Church. The choir go on European Tours, generally to mark the release of a new CD such as the "Song of the Sunrise Tour" in 2006 and the "Blessed Tour" in 2008.

Tour

The choir go on tour to various destinations in Europe, generally to mark the release of a new CD. As of 2008, they have been to; Athens, Greece, Hildesheim, Germany, Carinthia, Austria and Venice, Italy. They have also performed at the Royal Albert Hall, London.Some of the venues at which the choir have performed include Terra Mystica, Austria (a venue inside a mountain), The Playhouse, Weston-super-Mare and St Nicholas Cathedral, Prague. They have also performed at Wells Cathedral, Somerset for the 5 Bishops attending the Lambeth Conference in 2008.

It is possible that the 2008 "Blessed Tour" may have been the last tour for the Gospel Choir for the foreseeable future due to cost restrictions. However, a statement by Musical Director Alison Cooper made September 19th 2008 said:

We may be going on tour again next year, but it all depends on how many could go as it is unlikely to cost under £450
