Govan Citadel Songsters are led by Chic Ramsay, whose son Fraser married a local girl and settled in the town.

The choir will be accompanied by their Executive Officer, Commissioner Keith Banks, who has been a Salvation Army Officer for over 40 years.

Over that long ministry, the Commissioner has led churches, been involved in youth work, denominational leadership at regional and national levels in the UK and in Papua New Guinea, and has been the Secretary for Personnel at The Salvation Army’s International Headquarters.

Commissioner Banks is a gifted and gentle man of God, whose spoken and written word convey wisdom and a depth of spirituality.
