If you love to sing and have always wondered what it’s like to join a community CHOIR, now’s the chance to find out! The new NO-AUDITION Beckenham Good Afternoon Choir starts on Wednesday June 5 from 1pm-3pm at St John’s Church Hall, Beckenham and there’s a warm welcome to go along and find out more.
Bath-based music man Grenville Jones started his Good Afternoon Choirs 15 years ago and there are now 26 across the West of England from Gloucestershire to Cornwall. Over 1,000 people ‘Sing in the Afternoon’. Grenville is very excited to announce that he is launching his next Good Afternoon Choir in London.
The Leader of the Beckenham Good Afternoon Choir is Bev McGarey. Bev taught Secondary Music for 15 years, including Coloma, Dartford Grammar and Greycoat Hospital School. She is now a qualified Creative Therapist, a mental health profession that uses the creative process of the arts to enhance the physical, mental and emotional well-being for all ages. She is looking forward to the fun of singing together and making amazing music during the afternoons.
Good Afternoon Choirs sing popular melodies in harmony and each choir raises money for a local charity selected by the members. In 2023 the choirs raised over £30,000 for local charities and organizations across the West of England.
Bev said;
“Everyone is welcome to come along to the launch on June 5 or on any Wednesday afternoon at St John’s Church Hall, Beckenham from 1pm-3pm. There’s no charge for attending your first rehearsal and there are NO auditions - come along, alone or with a friend. You can be assured of a warm welcome.”
“Choirs are great for meeting new people and enjoying the best hobby in the world,” adds Grenville.
