Govan Citadel Songsters

Of the four Govan Citadel music sections, the Songster Brigade is the most recently formed. The Senior Band was formed soon after the corps began back in 1881. The Young People’s Band is reported as playing for the first time in January 1912 and with what were called ‘YP demonstrations’ featuring ‘singing’, a singing company no doubt existed by then also. It was not until 1918 the Songsters emerged, formed by Major Charles Cox from members of the National Songsters () who were soldiers at Govan.

More than a decade was to pass before there was any significant recognition. In 1929 the Army’s Bandsman and Songster magazine reported it was ‘yet in its infancy’ but ‘… keeping up the pace over the border’. That year it started its own Sunday morning street meeting and the following year led its own Easter mission in Edinburgh while the corps band was in Sunderland!

Today the brigade contributes, as it has always done, to the spiritual life and worship of Govan Citadel. It also continues to carry the message of Christ to other places. Its most recent ‘Alive’ tour of South Ontario, Canada, comes in a long list of such campaigns. While the brigade may have taken time to establish itself, having done so, it has kept up the pace on both sides of the border - and beyond.

Hope has slipped away; His strength in us begins when ours comes to Go and tell, go and shout, Men have stopped believing, an end. Go and let the glory out. Forgotten how to pray; He hears our humble cry and proves again: Go and tell all of the world And if we needed you, That Jesus Christ is Lord. We need you now! Go and tell, speak His name Now to all the earth proclaim, Go and tell all of the world That Jesus Christ is Lord.

Go ye into all the world, And carry the Light.
