Inspiring Stories: British Military Wives Choir with Gareth Malone

"We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender." Winston Churchill

Music has been described as the food of the soul. Everyone has an emotional connection to one form or music or the other. However getting people to sing professionally (especially if they are not interested or never really done it before) can be a daunting task. This seems to be a specialization that Gareth has acquired.

Alexander Victor, Altarsound and WE-III: Trick or Treat?


It's 11.00pm, thursday night in leyton. A group of people are chatting away, getting to know each other better and catching up with lots of jokes + laughs. 11.20pm, the leader calls their attention and after a prayer session they get to the business of the night. It's the first joint rehearsal of Alexander Victor and Altarsound with guest ministers. With Aaron T Aaron, Toye D Toye and Gina Gee in the house and Jake Isaac expected to arrive any moment, it looks like an interesting night.

Question what are these guys all about? What's all the buzz about WE-II "The Love Affair" every minute on Facebook? Is this another "trick" to get us hyped up or a special "treat" for everyone?

Let's find out!

Inspiring Stories: Steve Jobs, his apple and the world

"Steve Jobs is a genius. He is an innovator. A visionary. He is perhaps the most beloved billionaire in the world." Andrew Ross Sorkin (NY Times)
 How a college drop-out convinced the world of his capacity to be a genius never stops to intrigue anyone. An adopted child who slept on the floor in his friends' rooms and relied on free meals went on to rule the world. Sometimes you wonder how he does it or what he is thinking.
