A new non-audition choir for Westbury

A NEW local choir has been set up – and anyone can join.

If you love to sing and have always wondered what it’s like to sing in a choir, now’s the chance to find out! The new (no audition) Warminster and Westbury Good Afternoon Choir starts on Friday 10th February from 1pm to 3pm at The United Church (Methodist/URC), George Street in Warminster.

The first session is free. Good Afternoon Choirs sing popular melodies in harmony and each choir raises money for a local charity selected by the members.

In 2022 the choirs raised over £19,000 for local charities and organisations across the West of England.

Bath-based music man Grenville Jones started his Good Afternoon Choirs 12 years ago and there are now 24 across the West of England. Tanya, who will be leading the Warminster and Westbury choir, is a pianist and soprano, based locally.

She has led youth choirs and musicals, directed and performed in many local theatre productions, and for several years was assistant musical director and accompanist for Warminster Military Wives Choir.

Choir founder, Grenville Jones said, “Come along and meet the Warminster and Westbury Good Afternoon Choir and Tanya on a Friday afternoon. There’s no charge for attending the first rehearsal, there are no auditions – why not bring a friend.

“Choirs are great for meeting new friends and enjoying the best hobby in the world, I’ll see you there!”
