For the last two Christmases, choir leader Grenville Jones had hoped that his choirs would be singing out at their popular annual Christmas carol services.

Sadly, Covid put a stop to those plans. As Christmas approaches however, Grenville’s choirs are back with a number of carol celebrations planned. Locally, St John’s / Keynsham Parish Church is the venue for a Christmas celebration on Saturday evening (December 11th) supporting the work of two local charities, Keynsham and Saltford Dementia Action Alliance and Keynsham and District Mencap. The evening’s programme includes the Keynsham Good Afternoon Choir, the Bath Welcome Chorus choir and the City of Bath Male Choir. The Keynsham Music Man Project will also perform. There will also be carols. For tickets, call: 01761 472468.
