Bring your voice. Lock in. Find the Groove.
The Bristol Groove is an award-winning mixed-voice choir for confident singers from Bristol, Bath and the surrounding area. In 2026, we won Best Mixed Vocal Ensemble at the Mid Somerset Festival.
We sing an exciting mix of gospel, jazz, disco, soul and contemporary pop, with a strong focus on rhythm, harmony and groove. Performances have included Party in the City, Bath Festival, Pucklefest, Three Choirs Concert and Raff Pack Concert.
We’re a performance-focused choir with high musical standards and a huge sense of fun. Entry is by a short, friendly audition, and singers should be confident holding their own harmony part. You don’t need to read music, but you’ll need to learn your part quickly and commit to regular Thursday evening rehearsals.
Where:
The Vassells Centre, Gill Avenue, Fishponds, BS16 2QQ, BRISTOL.
When:
Thursday nights 7:30-9:15pm
