A Charity Concert
The popular Wells mixed-voice Good Afternoon Choir welcomes Wriggle Valley Jazz Band as their special concert guests at St Thomas’ Church on Friday October 17, at 7.00pm (doors open at 6.30pm).
The Wells Good Afternoon Choir is led by Ruth Jenkins and they are busy preparing their programme for the concert which will support the choir’s 2025 chosen charity, 5th/7th Wells Scout Group. The Scout hut is over 40 years old and in need of some refurbishment to make it welcoming and inclusive to all the community in Wells.
The Good Afternoon Choirs were started by Bath-based Grenville Jones 16 years ago and there are now 35 across the South West of England, South Wales and London, with over 1,600 members ‘Singing in the Afternoon’.
If you are interested in becoming a member, there are no auditions to join and your first rehearsal is free – come alone or with a friend! Wells Good Afternoon Choir meet every Tuesday afternoon from 2pm-4pm at St Thomas’ Church. Everyone is welcome to come along to meet Ruth and the members of the choir, where the emphasis is on singing and having fun. You can find out more at www.goodafternoonchoir.org
Special guests for the concert will be Wriggle Valley Jazz Band, a group of musicians from the Sherborne area who play a variety of traditional jazz music with some old favourites as well as other tunes which they have adapted in their own ‘trad jazz’ style.
Tickets priced £10 are on sale in advance from gac.ticketlight.co.uk or by calling 0844 888 9991 – they will also be available on the door on the evening of the concert.
Grenville, the Choir Founder, says:
“This will be another very special concert for our members with a mix of music to suit everyone. It will be a great night of music for Ruth and the Choir who very much look forward to welcoming Wriggle Valley Jazz Band to entertain you.”
