The Good Afternoon Choir Sidmouth rehearse every Wednesday afternoon at Old School Building, All Saints Sidmouth from 1.00-3.00pm.

Grenville Jones, the founder of the Good Afternoon Choirs is delighted that Maria Thorne is the leader of the Good Afternoon Choir Sidmouth.

Maria has always loved making music. A singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, she's been in many ensembles, from orchestras and professional choirs to contemporary folk and rock bands. Through her years of experience directing community choirs, she's seen their benefits in action. She relishes helping people find fun, friendship and happiness through song.

A warm welcome awaits any new members, there are NO auditions and everyone is welcome! There is no charge for attending your first rehearsal. Come alone or with a friend – either way the Choir will be pleased to meet you. You will be joining over 1,000 people singing at Good Afternoon Choirs around the South West and beyond!

Membership forms are available to collect at every rehearsal. The choir rehearsals are in 4 terms of 10 weeks and members pay £63 per term – this covers room and piano hire, music, admin and musician fees. You do not need to join at the start of a term, you can simply come along to any rehearsal and pick up a membership form should you wish to join the choir – your fee will then be worked out for the remainder of that term.

If you have any questions about the Choir please contact Karin at Grenville's office in Westfield/Midsomer Norton via e-mail karin@grenvillemusic.co.uk or tel 01761 472468.
