Music @ St Columba’s is the branding we have used over the past seven years. We encourage a wide variety of musical styles to give a concert on Saturday evenings. The performers usually have a Christian background or else have come through a previous Christian performer. We have had solo pianists, string quartets, choirs, a Gospel rock band and folk singers. If you have not been to church for a while or attend another church, you are very welcome to come and join what is always an interesting musical evening. Refreshments are served and donations, rather than ticket sales, are requested to cover the costs of the performers.
