His most celebrated signings—Florence + the Machine, Mumford & Sons and, above all, the uniquely gifted Amy Winehouse—make it abundantly clear that this Island Records lifer and current label chieftain walks it like he talks it. During a career spanning more than three decades, Beese has become renowned for finding and nurturing innovative artists whose music has stood apart on the radio and the charts. “Darcus is as passionate today about his artists and team as the day we first met,” Universal Music U.K. chairman/CEO David Joseph said in Music Week last year. “He embodies the maverick spirit which has always set Island apart as a label.” Joseph’s recent comment to HITS was more personal. “If you ever find yourself wondering what words and thoughts are going through his mind,” he mused, with obvi- ous affection, “they will be ‘radical,’ ‘truth,’ ‘culture,’ ‘I’m feeling this,’ ‘I’m not feeling “this,’Y ‘legacy,’ ‘family,’ respect,’ ‘chicken and fries.’ And it’s often a combination of all of these, beautifully blended together.” 36 37 “YOU CUT ME AND I BLEED ISLAND.

ABSTRACT This thesis investigates practices and beliefs of an African diaspora migrant church. The question this thesis seeks to answer is why are some of the second-generation members frustrated while others are leaving the church. The Church of Pentecost is a migrant church with its foundations in Ghana. In the UK, the Church of Pentecost appears to be flourishing, however, there seems to be a growing number of young people who claim to be frustrated whilst others are leaving the church. Subsequently, the focus of this thesis is to trace the contours of transition in the church and, ultimately, to find out why some of the second-generation members are disengaged and why others are leaving the church.
