Join Mica Paris for the perfect start to Christmas with the gospel… according to music!

Join Mica Paris for an uplifting start to Christmas, featuring the perfect playlist of gospel gems and live carols specially recorded by the House Gospel Choir.

Prepare to have your soul stirred and heart lifted as Radio 2 takes you to church this Christmas. 

Soul diva Mica Paris fell in love with music through the gospel records played at home by her family and the songs she heard in church, where her singing talent was first discovered. 

Here she shares her Christmas favourites, and uncovers new gems from a constantly evolving and influential genre. 

With powerful performances powered by faith, soul and a love of music we’ll hear from Aretha Franklin, Mahalia Jackson, Solomon Burke, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Nat King Cole, Donny Hathaway and many more. 

Plus Mica presents a live festive performance from one of our brightest contemporary gospel choirs, the House Gospel Choir, recently heard with both Ella Henderson and Kylie and released their own. This Christmas morning they bring their distinctive flavour to two much-loved carols.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
