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. This musical performance for Fundraiser For New Hope Animal Rescue In Memory Of Peter Gasson had Rock Choir members from the Bexleyheath & Eltham choirs. They were led by their choir leader Michael Fricker. Some new choir members were appearing onstage for the very first time! Well done to them! Michael wants to say how proud of everyone they are. The event was FREE.
We can’t remember what the weather was doing on the day but everyone was thrilled to be there to sing together. A good few members arrived very early due the excitement of performing and there were a few members from other nearby choirs there to help and sing on the day. 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 ‘I Wanna Be The Only One’ by Eternal along with the wonderful ‘Somewhere Only We Know’ by Keane. Beyond the music, this performance had a noble cause and was in aid of New Hope Animal Rescue. Many thanks go to the prefects who were there on the day helping.
Performance location: Bob Hope Theatre, Wythfield Road, Eltham, SE9 5TG

**STOP PRESS** The world’s largest contemporary choir, Rock Choir, is gearing up to release not one, but two sensational singles in the official charts as the nation begins its countdown to Christmas. Both tracks will be released on the 6th December.
The first single, ‘Hallelujah’, features the Creator of Rock Choir, Caroline Redman Lusher, as the soloist. Her powerhouse vocals are accompanied by the dynamic, harmonious vocals of over 6,000 Rock Choir members. The accompanying video showcases emotional and striking footage of more than 3,000 Rock Choir members across the UK, capturing the joy and emotion of being part of the nation’s favourite choir experience. This uplifting video is a heartfelt celebration of the life-changing and transformative power of Rock Choir. With Caroline as the beating heart of the incredible Rock Choir phenomenon, she continues her mission to encourage everyone—regardless of experience or musical knowledge—to sing, positively impacting their happiness, health, and well-being.
The second single is the festive classic ‘What Christmas Means to Me’ by Stevie Wonder. This energetic, upbeat track radiates contagious joy and festive spirit, perfectly embodying the essence of Rock Choir! While the two tracks contrast in style and presentation, they symbolise the key ingredients that make Rock Choir the largest, original, and leading choir experience in the country.
