YOUNGSTERS from two Glasgow schools enjoyed a master-class in gospel singing as part of the city's Inspiration arts festival.

Pupils from Notre Dame High in the city's West End and Lochend Community High in the East End were given expert tuition from Liberian-born Jerry Boweh.

The Glasgow-based musician, lead singer of seven-piece band Bassa Beat, set up the Glasgow Gospel Choir for adults 10 years ago.

The choir aims to bring a taste of gospel to the West of Scotland, and is an amateur, non-denominational, community group which has performed in venues throughout the country.

Jerry, who is a political exile and has been granted the indefinite right to remain in the UK, hopes to launch the city's first youth gospel choir following the success of the Arches Theatre masterclasses which the pupils certainly seem to have enjoyed.
