The Yate & Chipping Sodbury Good Afternoon Choir meet every Wednesday afternoon from 2pm - 4pm, at St Mary’s Church, Church Road, Yate, BS37 5BG. Our picture above was taken at a rehearsal in September this year when the choir performed for the first time with Keynsham Good Afternoon Choir. A great night was had by all!
Grenville Jones, the founder of the Good Afternoon Choirs is delighted that Sian Walters, pictured leads the Yate & Chipping Sodbury Good Afternoon Choir and Carolyn Dutton is the accompanist. Sian graduated in singing, piano and percussion at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.

She has her own private music business called High C's Music Services which she also set up in 1998. Her successes include pupils gaining Music scholarships into private secondary schools, and the famous performing arts sixth form college Hurtwood House, also various music colleges and universities, pupils also gaining places in the prestigious National Youth Choir of Great Britain. Sian has also Musically Directed Youth Drama Groups in the locality, appeared as guest soloist with mixed and male voice choirs, adjudicated in local festivals and directed Youth and Adult Choirs which has gained her over 20 years experience.
The rehearsals run from 2pm to 4pm, there are no auditions and everyone is welcome.

There is NO charge for attending the first rehearsal and membership forms are always available. The choir rehearsals are in 4 terms of 10 weeks and members pay per term - this covers room and piano hire, music, admin and musician fees.
