Norland College Choir
In autumn 2008, Grenville was asked if he would take up the challenge to form a choir at the Norland College in less than 5 months after they received an invitation from the front of house manager at the Millennium Stadium Cardiff. The production of Mary Poppins, produced by Cameron Mackintosh was due to open in Cardiff in March 2009 and the invitation was for the choir to sing in the foyer of The Millennium Stadium, at a press night. A wonderful opportunity but the college didn't have a choir. Thirza Ashford who was the Principal at the time contacted Grenville, and of course, he agreed and students were asked to volunteer. No auditions were necessary, just a love of singing and commitment to rehearsals. The choir went on to sing in the Millennium Stadium and were treated to complimentary seats to watch the production!
The choir which has been going now for over 8 years has, "gone from strength to strength” with performances at Bath’s Christmas Market, Norland College Christmas celebrations and other annual college events.
In October 2015 the choir were delighted to take part in an annual concert held in Bath Abbey to raise funds for the work of the National Osteoporosis Society, singing with other choirs as well as showcasing their own harmonious singing.
On Saturday March 12th 2016, Grenville entered the choir for the Mid-Somerset Festival, singing against 11 other ladies choirs. The Norland Nannies choir achieved 2nd place with distinction. A remarkable achievement!
