What a fantastic day it was for our community as members from the Dorchester and Bridport choirs came together for an unforgettable performance, led by the ever-enthusiastic Sadie Kerslake. The energy was electric, especially with some singers taking the stage for the very first time! It was heartwarming to see friends and family come out in support, filling the venue with applause and smiles. Despite the partly cloudy skies, we were fortunate enough to enjoy a little sunshine as we performed indoors, creating a cozy atmosphere perfect for a choral celebration. The collaboration with a few members from nearby choirs added an extra layer of joy to the event, where we sang our hearts out for a worthy cause. Our repertoire was a delightful mix of beloved hits, including the uplifting "Mountain" by Sam Ryder and the timeless classic "I Wanna Dance with Somebody." We also transported the audience with tunes like "Somewhere Only We Know" and "Best of My Love." Each song resonated with the crowd, igniting claps and cheers that echoed through the venue. Beyond the enchanting music, this concert was organized in aid of Weldmar Hospice, an incredible local charity dedicated to providing compassionate end-of-life care and support to families in our community. To learn more about their vital work, visit the Weldmar Hospice official site. A huge thank you to all the prefects who lent a hand on the day, ensuring everything ran smoothly. It was truly a celebration of community spirit, and we can’t wait for our next opportunity to sing together!Performance location: St Mary’s Church, 15 Edward Rd, Dorchester DT1 2HJ

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.
