Past Events
21st June 2026 – Make Music Day
We had great fun singing in the amazing BOV foyer, the last of half a dozen terrific choirs from across Bristol to perform on a full afternoon of song. There was a lovely relaxed vibe to the event and we appreciate and thank the team at BOV for running the event so smoothly.
16 May 2026 Horfield Baptist Church, Bristol
Bristol Voices and the Gasmen Collective: a double bill of a cappella harmonies at Horfield Baptist Church Hall, Gloucester Road, Bristol at 7:30 pm 16th May.
We raised funds for Borderlands the charity supporting vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers in Bristol. We were really delighted with the evening; some great singing and an appreciative sell out audience. Through ticket sales, a raffle and refreshment sales, we raised over £1,000 for Borderlands – and greatly enjoyed doing so!
The programme ranged through classic pop, early French madrigal and traditional songs. One of our favourites is Barry Manilow’s Copacabana
Dyrham Church 30th November 2025
We’re delighted to be returning to Dyrham Church for an early seasonal performance on Sunday 30th November. We had a great time here last year, singing to a packed house – it really was standing room only, and such a great atmosphere.
There will definitely be a traditional Seasonal flavour, but we will be including some of our favourites from our wider repertoire, and some new numbers we’ll be singing for the first time as well.
The concert is timed to coincide with the famous Dyrham House Christmas Through the Ages which is always a great reason for visiting this wonderful house and garden.
We’re performing twice on the same afternoon this year, at 1 pm, and again at 1:50 pm. We hope to see lots of you there – come early to make sure of a seat!

We Three Choirs, All Sants Church, Clifton 13th December 2025
We are returning to All Saints again but there will be a different three choirs this year – QEH Community Choir will be returning but we’ll be joined this year by the Bristol Groove Choir, one of Bristol’s newer choirs.
Each choir will be performing their own set, and then coming together for a glorious finale. This was a great event last year, much enjoyed by audience and singers alike, and we will be raising valuable funds for NW Bristol Foodbank through ticket sales, a raffle (with excellent prizes if last year is a guide) and bar sales. Yes, there’s a bar.
Expect plenty of seasonal music; we will be including many lesser known songs in the English and European traditions, as well as some less seasonal pieces which will make the most of the lovely acoustic of All Saints.
BS5 Together Saturday 26th July
Bristol Voices performed a short set at St Annes Church Greenbank to launch BS5 Together 2025. This joyous occasion was much enjoyed and we sang a good selection from our repertoire with some uplifting gospel and a few pop classics.
RWA Queen’s Road Bristol
Saturday 21st June 2025
Our last performance before the summer break was for International Make Music Day on the longest day of 2025.
We tried to raise the domed roof of the Royal West of England Academy as the final choir to sing in a day of choral celebration in the galleries hosted by RWA alongside their permanent collection and temporary exhibition.
5th April – Staple Hill Methodist Church
We performed about twenty songs to a good audience in the beautiful light filled space of Staple Hill Methodist Church, famed for its acoustic which truly favours a capella singing. We were very grateful to receive such a warm welcome from the Church, and our audience. Our music director, Jeremy Avis, gave an inspired improvisation on the magnificent pipe organ after the interval.
Funds raised from ticket sales will go to Church funds.
We will post recordings and videos soon – here is the video of our performance of ‘Cablecar‘.
Twenty five years together
We celebrated our 25th Anniversary as Bristol Voices Community Choir with a performance at St Werburgh’s Community Centre in November 2024. It was great to sing for (and with) many former members and directors and to share a birthday cake.

We had a full house for our pre-Christmas concert at Dyrham church in the grounds of Dyrham Park in Gloucestershire on Saturday 30 November. It was a wonderfully enthusiastic audience that enjoyed singing along to some of the seasonal favourites and we premiered a new Christmas Pudding song by Orlando Gough.
We Three Choirs
Our final performance of the year was part of the ‘We three choirs’ concert at the magnificent All Saints Church, Pembroke Road, Clifton on Sunday 15th December.
We shared the evening with QEH Community Choir and Arnos Vocale, performing individually and combining for a big finale at the end of a rousing celebration of wintry singing, finishing with a sing-along of the Pogues’ ‘Christmas Eve in the Drunk Tank’ much appreciated by a full audience.
This event raised a brilliant £2,000 for NorthWest Bristol Food Bank through ticket sales , raffle and bar sales.
We had our Spring Concert 2024 in the chapel at St Monica’s Retirement Village on Saturday 27 April where Jeremy was joined on stage by Tara the dog. Residents and friends enjoyed the singing and we raised £335 with our retiring collection in aid of Family Food Action.
In August 2023 we sang again at the Amnesty Garden Party at Goldney Hall in Clifton. It’s always a lovely event, the cakes on offer are delicious and we’re proud to help raise funds for the important work that Amnesty International continues to do in these challenging times.
We performed on the quayside at the SS Great Britain on Sunday 4th December 2022 as part of their Victorian Christmas festivities. This was our third performance there and it’s always an uplifting event in the run up to Christmas.
During the August ’22 heatwave we performed at the Amnesty Garden Party at Goldney Hall in Clifton. We managed to find some shade under the trees and gave a rousing performance of new songs and old favourites. It was great to be asked back to sing there in support of Amnesty.
