Mary Kenyon, Forth Valley branch chairman, said: “I am absolutely delighted West of Scotland Military Wives Choir will be performing in Stirling for us, bringing its unique blend of style and repertoire to what promises to be an exciting, and I dare say moving, evening of festive songs, readings, and companionship.

“Military Wives Choirs has done so much in its magical first decade to bring companionship and support – values of course shared with SSAFA – to women whose serving spouses are deployed far from home overseas.

"This concert is a great way to celebrate Christmas and support our Armed Forces at the same time, remembering the sacrifices made during conflict and during peace, so please join us if you can.”

Also performing will be Shona Mackay, a celebrated Glasgow-based composer, arranger, conductor, and lecturer who studied composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and holds a PhD from the University of St Andrews.
