The sun always seems to shine on our end of Summer Choir concerts. This must have been the hottest yet! On Saturday 4th August we entertained an appreciative crowd on Clevedon Pier with a selection of songs and ending with a hearty rendition of ‘ Drunken Sailor’. On Sunday we performed again to friends and family at Sunhill Park, Clevedon then quickly retreated to the shade for a well earned picnic. Thank you to all who took part and came along to support us.
Our new term begins on Monday 10th September 2018 at our usual rehearsal venue at Kenn Road Methodist Church. Rehearsals start at 7.30pm, but we ask members to arrive at 7.15pm to allow time to register etc. New members always welcome.
This year we will be working towards out Christmas Concert on Saturday 15th December when we will perform ‘A Light in the Stable’ by Alan Bullard. A lovely piece which tells the Christmas Story with a blend of original settings and more well-known carols. We will also be performing some of the Christmas settings from Handel’s ‘Messiah’.
We will be running our popular Summer Choir every Monday evening for 6 weeks from 25th June 2018. All welcome. We learn and sing a varied repertoire from show tunes, pop music and light choral pieces led by Elinor Cooper

Everyone enjoyed a big surprise when Clevedon Choral performed Teddy Bears’ Picnic at Sunhill Park.
Choir members and the audience brought along their teddy bears to add to the fun while the choir performed their outdoor summer concert. The show marked the finale for the summer choir, led by musical director Elinor Cooper, which has been rehearsing for the last six weeks. The audience, of friends and relatives, enjoyed their own picnic afterwards.
The musical programme, performed on July 16, also included I Do Like To Be Beside the Seaside, Tequila Samba, Amazing Grace and An Irish Blessing.
We thoroughly enjoyed performing our Spring Concert at St John the Evangelist Church last Saturday. We have had very complimentary feedback on our performance and on the music programme. We were delighted to welcome some Bristol University Music Graduates to boost our volume in the tenors and bass section and provide beautiful solos. Thank you!
The concert will take place on Saturday 8th April 2017 @ St John Evangelist Church, Queens Road, Clevedon. Further details to be announced
