After more than 300 years of colonial rule, Jamaica gained its independence on 6 August 1962. To commemorate this important date, tomorrow, Sunday 9 August, the Association of Jamaican Nationals of Birmingham UK will offer a service of praise and thanksgiving at the New Testament Church of God Handsworth. I will have the honour of providing the music for the occasion, and I would love it if many of you could attend.
October is UK’s Black History Month. This year, the theme was, “standing firm in power and pride”. In this context, power is understood as leadership and positive influence in the community, whilst pride relates to embracing cultural identity and heritage.
On Saturday 11th October 2025 (just two weeks from today!) the AJN Local Heroes and the Be Inspired Youth Gala & Awards will take place at the Holte Suite of the Aston Villa Football Club.
On Wednesday 6th August, I took part of the civic flag raising ceremony to commemorate the independence of Jamaica. The event was organised by the Association of Jamaican Nationals Birmingham, and it took place at Victoria Square. We had good weather, the ceremony was beautiful, and I had the chance to play some of my favourite Caribbean songs.
Jamaica gained independence from the United Kingdom on August 6th, 1962. That means that today is the 58th anniversary of this very important event! To commemorate and celebrate the occasion, the Association of Jamaican Nationals (AJN) of Birmingham here in the UK will celebrate a service via Zoom this Sunday, August 9th, at 3:00 PM BST.
