The Good Afternoon Choirs are a project led by Bath music man Grenville Jones - www.grenvillejones.biz where the accent is on social, singing for people who have afternoons free! You do not have to worry about travelling to rehearsal in the dark, you will be home for the 6 o'clock news! The music varies from unison folk songs through to popular and well loved pieces in harmony. Reading music and previous choir experience is simply not important.

The Good Afternoon Choir founder is Bath Music Man, Grenville Jones who is well known across the UK for his leadership of many choirs (including the celebrated Bath Male Choir) and as founder of the Golden-Oldies Charity. 'Goldies' as it is fondly known reaches out to thousands of older isolated people across England and Wales with almost 200 daytime FUN SING&SMILE sessions for isolated people. Grenville is pictured right with Rob Beckett who presented the popular BBC1 talent show 'All Together Now'. Grenville was one of the 100 judges kept under control by former spice girl Geri Halliwell. The series ran in March 2019 and you may have spotted Grenville in the second row, pressing his red button (occasionally!) and joining in with some of the contestants. If you are interested in one of Grenville's other choral projects then please contact him on choirs@grenvillemusic.co.uk
More Good Afternoon Choirs will be coming in 2020 – watch this website. |
