St Edyth's, a fantastic end to a fantastic term!

So, the GGCC concerts are now over. But what a time we had! On Wednesday last week we performed our songs at St Edyth's church in Sea Mills and even though the building was a tad on the cold side, we soon warmed it up with beautiful harmonies, stonking solos and lots of clapping! We had another full house even though it was such a cold night.

We have some video of us! This time I did manage to film a bit of the choir so if you would like to see us sing 'Beautiful One' click here

Here are some pics I took as well.

Singing Beautiful One

The whole GGCC choir!

Thanks so much to everyone at St Edyth's for hosting us, the building has such great acoustics so we love singing there!

So, that's it for GGCC until the New Year. Term will start again on Tues 15th Jan for Westbury GGCC, Wednesday 16th Jan for Shirehampton GGCC and Thursday 17th Jan for Easton GGCC. Shirehampton GGCC will be meeting in a new venue still yet to be confirmed so watch this space.

Have a wonderful Christmas!

Electric Atmosphere at House of Praise!

So on Sunday night all three GGCC choirs sang their hearts out at House of Praise Church in Easton. The church was packed out and right from start we knew it was going to be a special evening. The audience were treated to heart felt perfomances of songs including 'Bridge over troubled water' by Shirehampton GGCC, 'You never let go' by Easton GGCC and  'Magnificent and Holy' by Westbury GGCC. All our soloists and small groups were brilliant! We're so thankful to all the folk at House of Praise who made us so welcome, worked really hard to get the church ready and provided lovely refreshments. 

Look how many of us there were! Such bright colours too!

Again we are accompanied by the wonderful Carey Luce

Marsha sings solo in 'Never let go'.

A wonderful evening was had by all...WELL DONE GGCC!

Cairns Road Concert Is A Cracker!!!

Wow, what a fantastic start to our concerts we had at Cairns Road last night! All those weeks of hard work really paid off. Right from the first song "Beautiful One" we had amazing solos, wonderful small groups, big big smiles, great stage presence and dynamic diction!!! I had a hunch it was going to be good as we began to rehearse and three choirs that rehearse on their own suddenly became one big wall of beautiful sound, you could almost see the confidence growing note by note. Well done everyone!

Westbury GGCC sing 'Magnificent and Holy'

Rehearsing on the stage, it's a tight squeeze now!

Shirehampton sing 'Bridge Over Troubled water'...beautifully

Funk It Up!

On Friday 30th GGCC went to 'Funk It Up'! We were invited to open the dance show for Funk It Up and also sing in the grand finale. It was so great to be there and see so many children and young people dancing with such passion and skill. They were all really confident performers and it was an honour to be able to encourage them and share our Gospel songs in a new setting. When we were about to sing for the finale one little boy asked "are you going to dance?"...we declined! Thanks to everyone from GGCC who came, it was a lot of fun and you were great!

We now look forward to our concerts! First one is this Friday 7th, 7.30pm @ Cairns Rd Baptist Church, BS6 7TH...hope to see you there!
