Worship Team
Geraldine Latty-Luce and Carey Luce have spent many years lecturing in congregation worship studies, instrumental, vocal and performance studies and applied creativity in university education.
Along with lecturing, Geraldine is a gospel artist, choral animateur and associate of the Royal School of Church Music (ARSCM). She recently received the Thomas Cranmer award for worship from the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Carey is a composer and pianist who loves to make worship connections using styles from around the world. His latest project Chopin Fusion explores this creativity, and, together with his wife Geraldine, they have released many original songs, produced solo albums and led gathered sung worship at Christian festivals in the UK and abroad.
Completing the band at FGF this week, Geraldine and Carey are joined by their friends, seasoned and creative musicians Tom Hooper on drums and percussion and Jeremy Perigo on sax, keyboards and vocals.
