The Newport City Church Gospel Ensemble will perform at the City of Newport Business Club's first Christmas dinner event on Thursday , December 4, at The Holiday Inn, The Coldra.

Newport City Church was set up in 2002 using a former cinema as its base. Since then it has grown and despite several changes in location and many challenges along the way, a committed group of people have helped the church go from strength to strength.

The NCC Gospel Ensemble will perform a selection of inspirational songs for the festive period. The ensemble is led by former hotel sales and marketing director Robbie Howells, who is now a singer, songwriter, musician and senior minister at Newport City Church.

The club’s chairman Janine Dance said: “We are extremely grateful to the ensemble for taking time out of their busy schedule to bring some festive joy and entertainment to our members and business guests.”

The event, which is open to all business people, starts at 5.30pm. Tickets cost £35.
