Bristol Harmony – West Gallery Quire

Bristol Harmony are a group of singers and instrumentalists who meet regularly to rediscover and recreate the vigorous music of 18th and 19th century English village choirs.

They are one of some 40 quires (i.e. singers and instruments combined) which are active countrywide: most are affiliated to the West Gallery Music Association, and include enthusiasts of every religious persuasion and of none. ‘Bristol Harmony’ was formed in 2007 with the intention of being a small, high-quality, democratic group, focused on the music of Bristol and the West of England. Singing and playing from their own music book, compiled by members; they try to enable those who sing by ear to join in, by treating practice meetings as far as possible as workshops so all can learn from scratch.
