Rosemary Potter, chairperson of Kirkcaldy Old Kirk Trust, said:"We're delighted that with the support 'Tea and Tunes' receives, we are able to host this event on the last Wednesday of the next four months. Each young group is refreshingly, excitingly, different but all to be enjoyed!"
On Saturday, August 30 at midday the kirk has an organ recital with Callum McLeod.
