The Frome Good Afternoon Choir rehearse every Monday afternoon at Holy Trinity Church from 2.00-4.00pm.
Grenville Jones, the founder of the Good Afternoon Choirs is delighted that Matt Finch is the leader of the Frome Good Afternoon Choir.
Matt runs 4 popular Good Afternoon Community Choirs every week and loves the fun of singing together and making amazing music during the afternoons. Matt lives in Bath where he is well-known as Musical Director of the Bath Light Operatic Group, you may well have attended one of their wonderful shows at the Bath Theatre Royal in years past. All Good Afternoon Choir members enjoy singing Matt's very special arrangements, especially at the Big Sings when all the Good Afternoon Choirs join together to sing in one venue.
A warm welcome awaits any new members, there are NO auditions and everyone is welcome! There is no charge for attending your first rehearsal. Come alone or with a friend – either way Matt and the Choir will be pleased to meet you. You will be joining over 1,000 people singing at Good Afternoon Choirs around the South West!
Membership forms are available to collect at every rehearsal. The choir rehearsals are in 4 terms of 10 weeks and members pay £54 per term – this covers room and piano hire, music, admin and musician fees. You do not need to join at the start of a term, you can simply come along to any rehearsal and pick up a membership form should you wish to join the choir – your fee will then be worked out for the remainder of that term.
If you have any questions about the Choir please contact Tracey or Karin at Grenville's office in Westfield/Midsomer Norton via e-mail gac@grenvillemusic.co.uk or tel 01761 472468.

Christmas Break
Christmas 2023
The Frome Good Afternoon Choir had a wonderful concert with special guests the children from Vallis First School at Holy Trinity Church, Frome in December 2023.
Concerts July 2023
The Frome Good Afternoon Choir were delighted to invite Chippenham & Calne GAC, and Warminster & Westbury GAC to Holy Trinity Church in Frome for a combined fundraising concert. We sang some new challenging pieces as separate choirs but came together as one big choir to sing some classic Good Afternoon Choir songs. We were treated to a fantastic rendition of Summertime from Tanya (Warminster & Westbury choir leader), and the evening was accompanied by Matt Finch (Frome, Chippenham & Calne Choir leader). The audience joined in several rounds and helped raise over £460 for local charities.
