The Devizes Good Afternoon Choir will present their first concert of the year at the Corn Exchange on Friday March 18th at 7.30pm.The choir is led by Grenville Jones with over 80 enthusiastic members who are busy preparing their programme for the concert which will support Julia’s House Children’s Hospice, a charity chosen by the members of the choir.The Good Afternoon Choirs were started by Bath-based Grenville Jones 12 years ago and there are now 19 across the South West of England with over 800 members ‘Singing in the Afternoon’.There are no auditions to join and members of the Devizes Good Afternoon Choir come from across Wiltshire, they meet every Friday afternoon from 2pm-4pm at St Andrew’s Church in Long Street. Everyone is welcome to come along and meet Grenville and the members of the choir.The special guests are Bath Youth Folk Band, a group of talented young musicians (aged 8 to18) which performs traditional folk music from the British Isles and beyond. The band performs at festivals, charity events and concerts throughout the year. They learn tunes mainly by ear, and enjoy working together to make their own arrangements and compositions.Grenville said; “It is going to be a great night of music and of course this will be the first time that we have performed at a public concert in over two years. We are absolutely delighted to be back singing again!”
