BBC Music Day 2018 – ChoirJam in the Colston Hall foyer!

We were delighted to be part of this national event that took place on Friday 28 September, and jumped at the chance to celebrate the power of music – something all of us can relate to!

As part of our celebration as a city of song, Bristol put on a fantastic day of back-to-back performances from an amazing array of local choirs, including us! When asked we were very happy to put on an afternoon performance in the Colston Hall Foyer and we all had a brilliant time.

 

 

Our BBC Music Day set included;
Dancing
Perfect
Lyin’ Eyes
River Deep, Mountain High
Sunshine On Leith
My Church
Come On Over To My Place
Make Your Own Kind Of Music

Thank you to everyone who took part and who came to support us, we are looking forward to next year already!

Changing Tunes is a Bristol-based charity that uses music and mentoring to help people lead meaningful lives, free from crime. Working in 14 prisons and 2 community hubs across the UK they help over 500 prisoners and over 50 ex-prisoners each year by using the power of music to unlock people’s potential to change. It improves well-being and enables personal growth, which both aid rehabilitation.
