VISION : 

VISION The vision began in the heart of GosFes Co-ordinator Bancroft Tabannor a member of the local church, Farm Street COGOP. As a musician he understood the potential of music as an international language and effective tool to communicate with and bring together people of diverse backgrounds, cultures and languages. The desire to stage a music festival, which would impact the community and unite church groups and other organisations in a common goal, remained in his heart for a year before finding expression. During this time he thoroughly researched the subject, using the Internet, library and contacted other organisations. Discovering that this was quite a unique project, he proceeded to set up a steering committee to begin the process of making the vision a reality.
