Our picture above shows members from across our Good Afternoon Choirs on the fantastic Cornwall weekend in 2018 - we returned this year to Truro for another brilliant weekend. 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.
More Good Afternoon Choirs will be coming in 2020 – watch this website. |
