The first of Kilmelford's community celebrations " Mid Summer Music " since lock down restrictions was held in the church on Friday 21st June at 7pm.

It was a very successful and entertaining evening hosted by Fergus Gillanders who brought his list of musical jokes and welcoming introductions.

Shuna and friends started the programme with four traditional tunes for fiddle, cello, and guitar followed by the Arduaine singers then Gill Philpotts's poem from Scammadale and pieces from Kilmelford's Gillian Nave cellist, Colin Clark guitar and Victoria Brown horn with a finale from Shuna and friends.

A variety of music and songs enjoyed by an almost full church. The musicians and audience appreciating each other's gifts meeting fellow players and making new contacts.

Rev Trudi Newton thanked everyone involved.

A generous extra donation brought the total raised for the Annexe appeal fund to 322.
