Concerts Coming Soon

See our concert page for a full list of what's happening and where, and who we are supporting with our singing.
We look forward to welcoming you to one of concerts in the months ahead and we are currently planning our Christmas collaborations with our local primary schools, all fundraising for charities across the West of England that have been chosen by the Good Afternoon members themselves.

Our choirs are led by a group of extremely talented musicians and we would like to introduce the conductors who lead our Choirs across the South West...
