Graham Fairbairn - a journey in worship
Born in Dunfermline in 1966, Graham came to faith in Jesus in 1985 at Glasgow University. The effect was so overwhelming that he nearly gave up his music studies at Glasgow University. After much prayer he believed that God was saying two things: 1) grow in love for Jesus and 2) finish the music degree.
Early life in DunfermlineBorn in 1966, Graham was sent to Gillespie Memorial Church of Scotland in Dunfermline; a good well rounded Presbyterian fellowship where Jack Goring was minister at the time. Graham's mother started him on piano when he was 5 years old. She is still playing herself at the age of 89!
