Monday November 18th 2019 and members of Frome Good Afternoon choir were special guests for the BBC Christmas Recording of 'Animal Park'. A memorable day was enjoyed by the choir members who sang in the Great Hall at Longleat and our picture shows the TV presenters Kate Humble and Ben Fogle with the choir in the background. Thanks to the BBC for the invite, Grenville led the Choir as Matt is away on Theatre Duty in London this week.

Our 2019 Charity Nomination...The members from each Good Afternoon Choir choose the local charity or organisation that they will support during each year. This may be through fundraising events, singing at concerts or collections taken at the end of the Christmas carol celebration. The Frome Good Afternoon Choir have chosen to continue their fundraising from 2018 for the WHY Charity. |

The rehearsals run from 2pm to 4pm, there are no auditions and everyone is welcome. Many of the people in the Bath, Devizes, Bristol, Keynsham, Thornbury & Yate and Chipping Sodbury Good Afternoon Choirs have never sung in a choir before, however each of the choirs has over 100 members!
The choir rehearsals are in 4 terms of 10 weeks and members pay per term, this covers room hire, music, admin and musician fees. You DO NOT need to join at the start of a term, you can simply come along to any rehearsal and pick up a members form should you wish to join the choir - your fee will then be worked out for the remainder of that term. The Frome Good Afternoon Choir enjoys all sorts of music – from folk songs to choral favourites. If you have any questions about the Choir please contact Nikki at Grenville's office in Westfield/Midsomer Norton for any information, by calling 01761 472468 or emailing gac@grenvillemusic.co.uk – or just come along to your first free session with a friend of course! |
