THE WEBSITE FOR GRENVILLE JONES

***DIARY DATE: Saturday May 12th - St Bart's Church, 7pm - When the young meet with the Young at Heart!***

Welcome to Grenville's website, the man referred to by the Bath Chronicle as "Bath's Mr Music." You can read all about his various music projects and music-crammed life. THE Bath Chorus are an auditioned group and the photograph above was taken just before a sell-out concert this April at the Minster Church, Isle of Wight. Part of the visit also saw Grenville taking a singing workshop, "Everyone Can Sing" with 150 people on the Saturday afternoon where he was joined by Mark De Lisser, musical director of the ACM Gospel Choir - pictured below.

Grenville and Mark became friends when they met on the BBC Last Choir Standing series. The workshop attracted singers from across the Island. Neil Barker is conductor of the Isle of Wight Gospel group, he said:

"This was a wonderful day for the Island and it was amazing to see the Minster Church so full. At the end of the concert everyone was shouting for more. Grenville and Mark led a inspirational workshop. Each of them taking different genres of choral music and to have everyone singing the final four items was something we will remember for a long time."

From four fun singing groups for the elderly as part of a new registered charity, Goldies – as it has become known – now delivers sessions across the West of England and aspires to become a national charity in the years ahead. Later this year it takes it's first major step forward into a new region, with the launch of Goldies CYMRU, in South Wales.

The original four weekly Bath sessions supported by local housing provider Somer Housing started in January 2008, have now grown to over 50. Hundreds attend the sessions which are taken by 20 trained session leaders.
