Thousands gather for Perth experience

There was, literally, no room at the inn, as what is thought to be the biggest crowd ever to gather for a carol service in Perth turned up at the Concert Hall last night to see The Bethlehem Experience.

The show, an hour-plus programme of drama and song, featuring a contribution from the Watoto children’s choir from Uganda, pioneered by the Church of the Nazarene and supported by five other congregations, proved an astounding success. A huge queue formed for well over an hour before the event’s 6 pm start.

All 1050 seats in the hall were taken with around 400 more in the concert hall foyer viewing the programme on closed circuit TV - and around 500 people were turned away.

Full story at the Dundee Courier.
