Joe Mettle’s concert on Sunday, June 25 at the Accra International Conference Center was a success.
Mettle did a live DVD recording session for his fourth studio album, God of Miracles. Christians really proved that they support a worthy cause as believers who thronged the venue did not just drive from their various homes just to sit and watch Joe Mettle and other gospel artistes do their thing but also cooperated with them to have a successful recording.
The show, which started around 6:30 pm, did not last for more than three hours because all acts – Joe Mettle, Akesse Brempong, Ohemaa Mercy, Teddy Amilack and Ntokozo Mbambo made sure their performances were within time.
Teddy Amilack who kicked off the show treated patrons to good worship songs. To be frank with you, the auditorium was not packed when the show started but the lower deck was almost full.
Right after the first act worshipped with the audience, gospel reggae artiste Akesse Brempong was invited on stage by the show host, Jeshurun Okeyere – a gospel musician and Live FM presenter.
The crowd chorused all songs he delivered on the night. In fact there was no dull moment when he was on stage.
There were only three supporting artistes on the bill so Joe Mettle had to be on stage and start his recording. Dressed in a black suit, Mr Mettle gently walked on stage with his backing vocalists.
They started with worship songs making sure patrons feel the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Joe Mettle before inviting Ohemaa Mercy on stage performed another worship song, which was also a beautiful piece. What wowed the crowd was when each of his backing vocalists was given the chance to freestyle the chorus – in fact, we heard voices upon voices.
Joe continued the event by pay tribute to the late Danny Nettey and honour Yaw Sarpong and Asomafo after Ohemaa Mercy walked off stage.
The headline artiste went back stage after auctioning Yaw Sarpong’s painting for GH 5000 to rest for his song with South Africa’s superstar NtokozoMbambo. Both walked on stage few minutes after the break to record their single.
