Greenock singer Chris Jewell joined the choir two years ago.

He encouraged two other local singers, Brian Green and Bill Kerr, to join last year, and then husband and wife Alan and Leah Marks joined up for this year’s concerts.

Brian said: "I first heard about Praise Gathering in 2024 and went to see a performance.

"I was blown away by the choir and particularly its size which at that point was about 400.

"More tenors were needed so I joined in 2025 and love it; the choir consists of singers from almost 200 different churches."

There are still some tickets left for Sunday's performance, people should visit the Concert Hall’s website.

Bill said: "I was told about the choir and found it so uplifting and enjoyable to listen to and be a part of it.’

Chris said: "This year, the event will include special guests Celtic Worship and again by Searchlight Theatre company who made such an impact in 2025.

" If you love singing, these concerts are the place for you and I would greatly encourage you to be there."
