FESTIVAL OF FIVE LESSONS, CAROLS AND MINCE PIES 2005
On Thursday 15th December 2005, the choir put on a Christmas Concert in Holburn West Parish Church. The concert was recorded by Frances Wilkins, a PhD student at Aberdeen University who was working on a documentation project covering the sacred singing traditions of North-East Scotland. . Ms Wilkins recorded the first half of the concert, the carol service, and has given a copy of her recording to the choir.

The concert was put on in aid of the Children's Hospice Association Scotland. £230 was raised due to the limitless generosity of the congregation and friends of Holburn West Parish Church.
I would like to offer my most sincere thanks to all who helped with the concert - Rev. Duncan C. Eddie, The Bain Family , Celia Walker, and all who helped prepare and distribute the seasonal refreshments at the interval. Thank you very much.
