Music List – Semester 1

In order to comply with Scottish Government’s Track and Trace scheme, anyone attending a service in chapel is
required to check in using the QR code, or by leaving their contact details on the sign in sheet provided. We are
observing 1m social distancing in chapel and ask that you do not sit anywhere other than the marked seats. You
will be required to wear a facemask at all times while inside the chapel, unless medically exempt. Numbers are
limited due to the capacity of the building, so please arrive early to avoid disappointment. Please enter the chapel
by the set of steps closest to the main gate unless you require the accessible entrance, which is in the West Quad,
close to the chaplaincy corridor. We will also be streaming our services and events.
