Any day where we get to sing is a great day and this was no exception! This performance for Marie Curie Day of Reflection involved choir members from across the area for the Ballyhackamore Late & Holywood Late. choirs. Leading them, was their amazing choir leader Sophie Giraudeau. For some newer members, this was their first time performing live with the choir! Sophie said ‘I am so proud of everyone who performed, just brilliant they were, sang so clearly and great at the dance moves too!’ The event was FREE to attend.
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. A number of Rock Choir members arrived very early due to the thrill of performing and probably to apply yet more glitter! In addition there were a few members from other nearby choirs there to help and sing on the day. Friends and relatives of the choir members filled the audience, creating an atmosphere of warmth and support. The choir performed songs from their recent repertoire such as ‘Shake a Tailfeather’ from the Blues Brothers movie along with ‘Best Of My Love’ by The Emotions. The musical performance raised money and awareness for Marie Curie.
Performance location: The grounds of Belfast City Hall
Price: FREE

**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.
