Marion retired as Minister of Kelso Old & Sprouston Parish Church in 2010, and is currently looking after Caddonfoot linked with Galashiels Trinity. In her spare time, Marion conducts the Roxburgh Singers, currently celebrating their 50th anniversary year. Their big anniversary concert was a performane of David Fanshawe's African Sanctus in Kelso Old Parish Church on Saturday 18th May followed by a celebtratory Come and Sing Fauré Requiem at Bowhill, courtesy His Grace, the Duke of Buccleuch, with 70 past and present members joining in. A former full-time member of the BBC Singers in London, Marion's childhood was steeped in music - as the youngest of four children, all performers, and with musical parents, she was just ‘the wee lassie who sang’. Her own performances have included solos with the BBC Singers in the London Prom Concerts and at the Festival Hall. She was Mezzo Soprano soloist in three performances of Verdi’s Requiem in Eastbourne and Kingston, over two week-ends immediately prior to sitting her final theology degree! An early degree in Russian has added to the eclectic flavour of her life. In June 2013, Marion conducted a Choir of 60 Local Voices from both sides of the Border, as part of the Flodden 500 memorial events. 'Singing in harmony, rather than conflict', the concert included Fauré's Requiem and other works by Schubert, Mendelssohn and Rutter, together with verses from Scott's epic poem 'Marmion', describing the Battle of Flodden. A section of the choir was then invited to take part in the special Service on Flodden Field in September 2013.
