Any day when we get to sing our hearts out is a great day. This event for Marylebone Christmas Lights Switch On involved choir members from across the area for the Waterloo, Hampstead & Ealing choirs led by their choir leader Valerie Turnbull. A big well done to those members fro whom it was their first live performance Valerie said ‘They loved it and the audience were great too! We had a really nice mix of choir members families supporting and the general public there watching the choir sing.’ This 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. Some members made a day of it arriving hours before the performance and engaging in a little local retail therapy, additionally there were a few members from other nearby choirs there to help and sing on the day. 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 ‘I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing’ by Aerosmith and the wonderful ‘Flashdance…What A Feeling’ by Irene Cara. Beyond the enchanting music, this appearance had another purpose. It was organized in aid of N/A. Huge thanks to everyone who helped.
Performance location: Marylebone Christmas Village, Devonshire Street

**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.
