Kirkcaldy-born singer Glenn Macnamara made his long-awaited return to the Lang Toun with his sold-out Swinging at Christmas show at Kirkcaldy Old Kirk.

The show was Glenn’s first in his hometown since 2018 and the 400 strong crowd were treated to a festive themed set of Christmas classics, such as "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year", "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" and "Let It Snow" - complete with artificial snow.

Glenn was introduced by his sister as compere, and recalled his last show in the Old Kirk four years ago, when his late father had been compere. Backing for Glenn came from the Eliot Murray Big Band, who have accompanied him on some of the world’s most exclusive cruise liners.

Dubbed “the UK’s finest swing singer” by Timeout magazine, Glenn has had a successful career since leaving the Kingdom aged 19 to attend the prestigious Guilford School of Acting. However, Kirkcaldy is where it all started for Glenn, where he learnt from Monica Holland and the Kirkcaldy Youth Music Theatre.

Also entertaining those in attendance was guest singer "the singing bus driver” Ronnie Curran. Among other hits, the “wee man with the big voice” gave a rousing performance of Sweet Caroline - leaving not much room in the aisles for dancing.

After his Kirkcaldy show, Glenn returned to London for shows on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
