We are looking forward to starting back with all our
Good Afternoon Choirs in the Autumn!

​No Auditions - Come Along and Meet Us
WE WILL BE BACK SINGING later THIS year!

In past years members of our Good Afternoon Choirs have made a number of visits and enjoyed weekends together mostly visiting Cornwall. The picture at the top of the page shows the choir spending a memorable weekend away in Truro in 2019. The picture above shows the massed choir in Truro Cathedral  for a performance on Saturday afternoon prior to a Saturday evening concert in Truro Methodist Church. 

Ahead ... we WILL be planning weekend trips in 2022 visiting Cheltenham and Cornwall where we will be hosted by our local Good Afternoon Choirs. Watch this space for full details!

 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. Good Afternoon Choirs perform at concerts and enjoy music making and, making new friends.  Membership is a termly fee to include music and all this will be explained on the member’s form when you come along to find out for yourself about the Choir in your area.  
There are over 900 members in the Good Afternoon Choirs who enjoy concerts and also weekend tours as part of the choirs social calendar.  The email address for all choir correspondence is gac@grenvillemusic.co.uk – there is no charge for attendance at the first rehearsal. Membership details are then available at each choir rehearsal room . Everyone is welcome!

Supporting local Charities and Organisations

Each year the Good Afternoon Choirs choose their own local charity or organisation(s) to fundraise for. Due to Covid19 and the choirs being postponed last year, their 2020 choices will remain throughout 2021 (see below). All new Good Afternoon Choirs starting in the Autumn of this year will choose their charity or organisation which they wish to support in 2022. In 2019 our choirs raised over £22,000 for local groups/charities. 
​10th Birthday Celebrations!
Bath Good Afternoon Choir celebrated their 10th Birthday last Saturday, Sept 28th, 2019. Our pictures above show Deputy Mayor, Cllr Manda Rigby cutting the birthday cake and the Bath GAC performing to a packed audience!
A fabulous weekend in Cornwall!
On Friday September 20th, 2019 80 members from across our 10 Good Afternoon Choirs travelled to Truro and enjoyed a fantastic weekend of fun and music making.  The choir had two performances on Saturday - one in the afternoon in the splendour of Truro Cathedral and then a concert in the evening at the nearby Methodist Church with the Sing Choir - supporting Cornwall Hospice Care when a fabulous £371.87 was raised.
