Singing in the Afternoon
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 Highworth with Shrivenham Good Afternoon Choir starts on Wednesday August 30 from 1pm-3pm at Highworth Community Centre and there’s a warm welcome to go along and find out more.
Bath-based music man Grenville Jones started his Good Afternoon Choirs 12 years ago and there are now 24 across the West of England from Gloucestershire to Cornwall, over 1,000 people ‘Sing in the Afternoon’.
Leader of the Highworth with Shrivenham Good Afternoon Choir is Swindon-based Jessie Thompson. She is a passionate singing teacher, musical director and accompanist. She has been inspiring and educating singers since 2004, when she finished her bachelor’s degree in music at Royal Holloway, University of London.
She currently works with many choirs, amateur dramatics groups and educational charities in Swindon and the surrounding area.
Good Afternoon Choirs sing popular melodies in harmony and each choir raises money for a local charity selected by the members. In 2022 the choirs raised over £20,000 for local charities and organizations across the West of England.
Choir founder Grenville Jones said;
“Everyone is welcome to come along and meet Jessie on any Wednesday afternoon at Highworth Community Centre from 1pm-3pm. There’s no charge for attending your first rehearsal and there are NO auditions - why not come along with a friend.”
“Choirs are great for meeting new people and enjoying the best hobby in the world.”
