Last Choir Standing’s famous Bath Male Choir will be singing on Saturday July 2 at All Saints Church, Weston super Mare. All proceeds are for the Golden-Oldies charity, that brings music and laughter to hundreds of elderly people across the West of England. The concert starts at 7-30pm. And features soprano soloist Charlotte Newstead. The Goldies as it has become known has attracted world-wide media attention. Sir Cliff Richard is the patron. There is popular Goldies session at Martindale Court every Tuesday morning in the town. Goldies founder is Grenville Jones. He is also the conductor of Bath Male Choir which he started in January 2006. Two years later, with numbers around the 60 mark Grenville entered his choir for the BBC's Last Choir Standing series. The rest, as they say, is history! The Choir reached the top five and were supported by millions of viewers across the UK. One of the judges, Russell Watson, dubbed them, "The Wall of Sound" and concert requests flooded in. Since that time the BBC has shown the Last Choir Standing Series around the world and Bath Male Choir have supporters as far away as Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.
