We receive a free magazine ‘The Bath Magazine’ every month. (The other similar publication ‘Bath Life’ has changed its distribution – ‘it comes down to numbers’ is what I was told – and is no longer delivered to our street. Or perhaps they were put off by the garden paths round here.)
The November 2015 edition of the Bath Magazine contains an lengthy (seven-page) feature about local choirs. They’ve obviously gone to quite a lot of trouble to talk to people and assemble photos and information about a couple of dozen choirs in the city. Apart from Bath Abbey choir, they aren’t church choirs (I can think of only two other C of E churches in Bath that have a choir singing in four parts every week). There are four choirs that I’ve sung with among them. I can see some omissions: Paragon Singers and Chandos Singers, for example. I haven’t read the article yet, but it looks like a good promotion for the choral life of Bath.
(For those who don’t live in a delivery area, The Bath Magazine can also be picked up free just inside the entrance to Waitrose and a few other places. Many local cafés and shops also have copies lying around.)
