About George..
[Personal]
George is also a Christian musician who now
attends the
Nazarene Church in St. James, Port of
Spain, Trinidad. He was the founder of the
Golden Gates Combo in the early 1960's. This
group was the
first Instrumental Gospelypso Combo
in Trinidad and Tobago and had the
honor at that time of playing at the first Andrae Crouch concert at the Roxy
Cinema (now Pizzaria in St.
James)
(More Information on the Golden Gates Combo
can be found in Rochelle's
Thesis on Gospelypso
At present George is part of the musical
ensemble at the St. James Church of the
Nazarene and plays the electric guitar. He
has also played (both lead and rhythm guitar
) with past Gospel Groups like RHEMA, CHARIS
and CARIBBEAN WITNESS.
The groups CHARIS and CARIBBEAN WITNESS
composed and sang mainly Gospelypsoes.
George was also general secretary of FAITH
Tabernacle, Nepaul Street St. James, the
headquarters branch of the Pentecostal
United Holy Church of Trinidad and Tobago (P.U.H.C.)
from
1964 to 1971. He was also the Administrative
Secretary of the same Church from approx
1971 to 1981.
While he appreciates all types of music, his
preferred type of Music is Gospel,
particularly Gospelypso, and Gospel Soul.
Those who know him
will also know that he is an ardent, almost fanatical lover of photography
for some time now. Fortunately, since his
retirement from the Public Service, he is able to devote more time, and become more
involved in the art.
As you would have noticed George has now
chosen to have his website
cater primarily to his photography ambitions.
