THE BATH WELCOME CHORUS
Message from Grenville .....
It's October 2024 and I've made the decision that my days of conducting / leading BATH-BASED evening choirs will end on Saturday December 21st - that's my Christmas charity concert at St Michaels (7pm start) with my Welcome Chorus and special guests. After 30 years I don't want to be part of the "too many choirs in Bath" race any more - there are just far too many in Bath with the knock-on issues of insufficient audiences, not to mention numbers of folk wanting to join!

No, I'm not NOT retiring folks, just leaving Bath to all the others.
My 30 plus Good Afternoon Choirs with 25 talented freelance musicians keep me busy (33 Christmas concerts coming up) and managing and developing more Good Afternoon Choirs in 2025 - the target is 40 by this time next year! We are now growing in South London and South Wales. I still also manage Bath Male Choir - now in the capable hands of its MD, Laurie my son (AND with growing numbers). I will continue building my lovely Tuesday evening mixed-voice choir in Rangeworthy, South Glos and my Friday conducting date with the Devizes Good Afternoon Choir.
My Goldies charity in England and Wales (Goldies Cymru) takes a great deal of my time as well and also continues to grow bringing joy through our Goldies fun sessions / with our Keynsham charity shop and our Award-winning Primary Schools intergenerational programmes. It's 17 years since I founded Goldies and it is still bringing "songs & smiles" to many 100s of isolated older people.
Back to Christmas - I do hope you will come to St Michaels on December 21st for my Bath Finale!! I'm sure it will be a great night. Tickets are on sale from Ticketlight (click here) or by calling 0844 888 9991
