In part 2 we have more choir music and duets, some songs from the 'youngeens' in 1983, and a poem from the minister.
Many thanks to John Banks for extracting the recording of the February 1983 Baptist Social from a cassette tape so that we could share it with you today. Please bear in mind that it is a 'home recording' from 1983 so the audio isn't as clear as we can manage in 2021 and it does jump a little but that just adds to the retro feel! If you have any old recordings you think we should share please get in touch. Enjoy!
Speakers: Isobel Thompson (2021), Ailsa Seatter (2021), and Jim Brown (1983).
