Key Voices Community Choir is a mixed choir with members from around Keynsham who meet on Monday evenings to have fun singing. As well as enjoying making great sounds together, we know that singing is good for us physically and mentally, so it is a great way to relax and leave the stresses of life behind for a while. We turn up with our unique voices, are met by familiar faces and receive expert coaching from our talented musical director. In addition to our weekly choir sessions, we perform at events throughout the year. Our Christmas concerts which include less-known arrangements of well-known carols, are especially popular. Otherwise, our repertoire ranges from Pop to Folk to Funk to Jazz. Our songs come from around the world, some collected on our doorstep, some written recently and others from the past six centuries.

It’s time for you to sing! Have you always wanted to sing? Or maybe you used to sing, but haven’t done it for years? Maybe someone even told you that you couldn’t sing? Well, now’s your chance! Seriously, life’s too short not to do something you’ve always wanted to do. Singing in a choir is about the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Or whatever. So if you can hold a tune, you’re in! Fancy a change? Looking for a new hobby? Recently moved to the area? Maybe the kids are a bit older now – or have flown the nest altogether. Or maybe you’ve retired and want to do something different. Whatever the reason, singing is a fantastic thing to have in your life! Once you start, you’ll wish you’d done it years ago!

Introducing a brand new community event! We are bringing six local choirs each with their individual repertoires for an afternoon of special performances, which will be followed by a giant singalong where everyone can join in! Take a seat at the Bandstand, sit back and enjoy an afternoon of pure heaven.

The Makings are a Bristol-based outfit, with overtones as diverse as jazz and blues, but rooted in rock, funk and soul. They offer big, brash sounds that bring something different to the Bristol music scene and beyond. Pushing boundaries rather than being confined by them, The Makings' deep-groove sound coalesces around jazz-tinged shuffles, bluesy guitar riffs and harmonious vocal stylings, all locked together by a fluid yet rock-solid rhythm section. And this synergy fuses with raw lyricism unafraid to confront life’s darkest moments and find the light within them. This is refreshingly candid songwriting and the result is both intriguing and uplifting.
