If you enjoyed last year’s “Come and Sing” in Dunfermline Abbey, St John’s Kirk, Perth is the place to be on Saturday 1 June, when Kevin Duggan will direct RSCM Scotland’s 2019 “Come and Sing”. The music will be taken from the 2019 RSCM Festival Service Book “Where shall wisdom be found?”
This event is suitable for all singers (though under-18s need to be accompanied by a responsible adult and have a signed parental consent form) and the final service is open to everyone.
“Come and Sing” starts with registration from 1.30pm, with singing sessions 1.45pm–3.00pm and 3.30–4.15pm, separated by tea/coffee and a short AGM/plenary meeting, and concluding at 4.30pm with a service led by Rev John Murdoch, Minister of St John’s.
