What a fantastic day it was at the Fordbridge Community Centre, where the joy of singing filled the air! Members from the Woking, Weybridge, Staines, Alton, and Camberley choirs came together, led by the energetic Danny Gortler. For many newer members, this marked their first live performance, and they shone brightly on stage. Danny praised the choir, saying, "The choir members did so well; everyone was truly professional in their performance and deserved to be up there." Although we missed the sunshine, the indoor setting created a cozy atmosphere for our audience, filled with the warm support of family and friends. It was heartwarming to see so many smiling faces, creating an inviting ambiance that made the concert all the more special. Some choir members arrived hours early, buzzing with excitement and taking their time to find their harmony parts. The concert featured a delightful mix of well-loved songs, including the iconic rock anthem "Sweet Child o' Mine" by Guns N' Roses and the soulful classic "For Once In My Life" by Stevie Wonder. Each note soared through the hall, bringing joy and connection to everyone present. In addition to the music, we were thrilled to support a wonderful local charity, the British Red Cross, whose important work focuses on helping those in need within our community. To learn more about their initiatives, you can visit the British Red Cross official site. A big thank you to all the prefects who helped make the day run smoothly. It truly was a celebration of community, music, and the uplifting power of singing together!Performance location: Fordbridge Community Centre, Clarendon Road, Ashford TW15 2QA

**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.
