7. Gospel Vespers
Gospel music is a close relative to blues and jazz, so the home of Napier's 'Jazz Vespers', Trinity Methodist, is pleased to host another Gospel Vespers. The event contains elements of a concert and a worship service; it borrows elements from both but, at its core, Vespers really offers reflection through music. Trinity Methodist Church, Napier. Tomorrow, 7pm.
