GRENVILLE JONES

Good Afternoon Choirs were started by Grenville in May 2009 when he launched the very first Good Afternoon Choir - Bath Good Afternoon Choir. The Bath Good Afternoon Choir is still going strong and, as you can see from this website, he has launched many more since!

Where to start telling you about the man called Bath’s Mr. Music by the Bath Chronicle. He has appeared on the BBC Children in Need TV programme with Gareth Malone and was one of the ‘100’ judges for two consecutive years on the BBC1 ALL TOGETHER NOW popular Saturday night show. With his many choirs Grenville has raised thousands of pounds for various charities across the UK in the last 25 years.

Through his Grenville Music Ltd office in Westfield, Radstock Grenville supports the talented team of professional musicians who run the Good Afternoon Choirs. He is also the Founder of the Bath Male Voice Choir and supports his son, Laurie, in his role as the choir's Musical Director.

He is founder of the Golden-Oldies Charity, and has appeared on radio and TV across the world. ‘Goldies’ (not a choir!) as it has become fondly known has developed to the point where it delivers over 160 weekly fun, SING&SMILE daytime sessions across England and Wales. For many of the people attending Goldies, it is their only social time of the week. Grenville has received many accolades for his work with the charity, but is anxious to make a point that it is the fabulous team of session leaders, and (most importantly) the hundreds of people who enjoy the fun singing sessions, who are taking Goldies forward.

Grenville's background includes a number of years managing newspapers as well as a period working as a freelance for the BBC in Bristol. He built up his own successful PR and Marketing company in the 80s and 90s and also a magazine company publishing golf titles. Singing was always part of a Methodist home upbringing in Purton near Swindon. He used to have a tenor voice but G says that many years of choir conducting his voice have strained his voice now to a poor bass.
