Hello all - ITS SUNNY!!!!! BLUE SKIES!!!! HOORAY!!!!

My next concert will be with the South Gloucestershire Good Afternoon Choir on Saturday 27th April, and they will be performing a night of "Songs from the shows" with a quartet of singers from Bath Light Operatic Group in Kingswood HolyTrinity Church - raising money for BRACE.

The day after, on Sunday 28th April, Bath Choir Sundays is back at the Roper Theatre - this time with 3 very contrasting choirs- Horizons, The Noteables and The Great Day Choir.

Tickets are selling well for Horizons and Jane Lilley Singers' "Come and Sing Hymns with Anthems" - all the Hymns and Anthems have been chosen - so warm up your voices and join us in raising the roof singing some of those classic hymns you know and love.

On the 20th July I'm organising an evening of local choirs singing in the sunshine at The Packhorse in Southstoke. Just for fun and a great way to finish the end of the summer term. If you sing a choir that would like to join us for a quick 15 minute set - please let me know!

Cheers

Matt

Unison, harmony, descants a plenty!
Everyone is welcome to join in this fiesta of hymns!

Guide me oh thou great redeemer
Dear Lord and Father
How shall I sing that majesty
