Well done to the North Somerset Good Afternoon Choir who welcomed the celebrated The Bath Male Choir to their concert at the weekend - see pictures below. The concert raised an amazing £1221.10 for the Freewheelers EVS Charity! The choir hope to add to that total with more fundraising concerts/events over the year.

As you can see from the picture above, the choir opened their doors on Wednesday December 5th, 2018 to welcome family, friends and guests, children from Golden Valley Primary School (who sang up a storm!) to their carol concert. The choir sang beautifully and everyone had lots of fun! There was a retiring collection at the end of teh concert which raised an amazing £401.00 for Wellspring Counselling. Well done everyone! |
April 2019 - Before Easter our North Somerset Good Afternoon Choir visited the local Golden Valley Primary School where the choir and children joined together in a workshop. At the end of the afternoon, parents and carers came to watch a short performance.. as you will see from our pictures, a great time was had by all!
