Wednesday July 23 is the date of a very special musical event which will take place in St John’s Church, Keynsham.
A singing workshop in the afternoon, followed by an evening concert is being organised by Keynsham’s popular Good Afternoon Choir. From 2pm-5pm a fun workshop will take place and this will be led by Laurie Jones and John Hare. Laurie is Head of Music at Westonbirt School and the youngest son of Good Afternoon Choir Founder, Grenville Jones. John Hare lives in Keynsham, is a freelance musician and the conductor of the weekly Keynsham Good Afternoon Choir.
“It’s going to be a great day of music with new pieces to learn in the afternoon by the hundred plus singers who will attend the workshop. Then in the evening from 7pm (until approximately 9.15pm) there will be a concert at which the special guest is Gavin Osborn. Gavin is a hugely popular entertainer who is well known for his BBC Radio 4 and Radio 6 broadcasts. He has toured across the UK, Europe and Australia and we are delighted that he is coming to entertain us on July 23,” says Grenville.
