HERE is our founder conductor Grenville Jones outside Sydney Opera House – looking forward to the day when The City of Bath Male Choir sing there! Grenville was in Australia for a week in November 2005 following The Silver Ring Choir's concert tour of Singapore and New Zealand. He has conducted the celebrated Silver Ring for 11 years and will be in Canada this September for a 15 day concert tour with them.

Grenville is founder conductor of The City of Bath Male Choir. He is pictured below with jazz stars Clare Teal and Jamie Cullum, preparing for a concert with his “other” Choir, the famous Silver Ring Choir of Bath.

 As if he is not busy enough, Grenville also runs a fabulous, ladies close-harmony and swing group called Stockingtops.

 Aged 59, Grenville owns a PR and publishing business, including a group of golf magazines, Regional Golf Ltd. Yes, he’s a busy man.

In January 2008 he launched the new Charity Golden-Oldies which is making a huge impact on the lives of elderly people www.golden-oldies.org.uk. The Charity has already attracted media coverage across the world and was featured on the BBC1 National 6 o’clock new in January. Goldies and Grenville …. What a story!

For a number of years in the 80s he sang in the barbershop group Five-in-a-Bar, making records and appearing on many national radio and TV shows including Jim’ll fix it, The Cliff Richard Show and Blue Peter, but he’s lost the badge! Many of the arrangements sung by the quintet were his.

For a while Grenville worked for the BBC in Bristol and once produced a show in the Colston Hall with Johnny Morris and all the local Male Voice Choirs.

Grenville is a member of the Association of British Choral Directors. Through ABCD he has forged friendships with the famous Rodolfus Choir. He was invited to be a Trustee of Rodolfus by its founder Ralph Allwood in August 2005.

Grenville’s natural musical ability and enthusiasm have taken The City of Bath Male Choir on an exciting journey. In a radio interview one of the Choir’s new members said:

 “I have never sung in a choir before but if Grenville’s enthusiasm and talent as a choir leader are anything to go by – the sky is the limit!
