There is an old Swedish proverb the says ‘Those who wish to sing always find a song’ and as amateurs pursuing our passion it was a pleasure to do this performance for the local community. Choir members appeared from the Oxted, Caterham, Sutton, Purley, Croydon & Waterloo choirs. They were led by their choir leader Valerie Turnbull. For some newer members, this was their first time performing live with the choir! Valerie said ‘I am so proud of everyone who performed, just brilliant they were, sang so clearly and great at the dance moves too!’ The performance 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 choir members made a day of it arriving hours before the performance and 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! It was super to see a great number of friends and family were in attendance. The choir performed songs from their recent repertoire such as ‘Two Hearts’ by Phil Collins together with ‘Mountain’ by Sam Ryder. Beyond the enchanting music, this recital had another purpose. It was organized in aid of N/a.

Here is a quote about the Rock Choir – ‘Being part of the choir has given me a wonderful opportunity to belong to a fantastic venture into the world of contemporary music and given me a new lease of life. Singing in the choir is a much better ‘pick-me-up’ than any anti-depressant tablet prescribed by a doctor. I come away after the weekly choir session with the best feeling ever and the companionship with fellow members is something money can’t buy.’ – Janet (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.
