Any day where we get to sing is a great day and this was no exception! Choir members appeared from the Ballymena, Ballymoney, Jordanstown, Derry/Londonderry & Coleraine and Portstewart choirs led by their choir leader rachel coulter. For some newer members, this was their first time performing live with the choir! rachel was immensely pleased with the performance and that everyone was getting to perform in the local community. The event was FREE.
We were performing inside. We can’t remember what the weather was doing on the day but everyone was thrilled to be there to sing together. Some members made a day of it arriving hours before the performance and engaging in a little local retail therapy, additionally this concert featured members from a lot of local choirs and it took some time for the members to get into position in their harmony parts! Friends and family of the choir members filled the audience, creating an atmosphere of warmth and support. The choir performed songs from their recent repertoire such as ‘Mountain’ by Sam Ryder along with the wonderful ‘Learn to Fly’ by Foo Fighters. This show was raising awareness and funds for None. Huge thanks to everyone who helped.
Performance location: 61 Ballyscullion Rd, Bellaghy, Magherafelt BT45 8NA

I am very proud of the choir and I find rehearsals inspiring as people are so friendly and the singing so uplifting.’ – Jim (Rock Choir Member)

**STOP PRESS** Rock Choir, the largest contemporary choir in the world is set to release their brand-new single ‘Somewhere Only We Know’ on Friday 21st March. The single features the Founder of Rock Choir, Caroline Redman Lusher along with the voices of over 6000 Rock Choir Members.
The single will be performed for the first time on national TV on the day of release and broadcast to the entire nation on BBC1 as part of the Comic Relief ‘Red Nose Day’ show. This will be the biggest choir performance the show has ever hosted and will be an emotional and poignant moment with a few surprises thrown in!
The track, which was originally performed by Keane was recorded over several months when it was performed by Rock Choir Members in the audience of a recent sold-out theatre tour which toured across the UK in 2024 led by Caroline and The Rock Choir Vocal Group. The audience became part of the show and enjoyed a fully interactive singing concert experience.
