Under the spirit of the old Swedish proverb, "Those who wish to sing always find a song," our community choir recently had the joy of performing at the vibrant Nottingham Beach. With members from Nottingham City, Southwell, Melton Mowbray, West Bridgford, Grantham, and Newark choirs, the evening was nothing short of magical. Led by the inspiring Robyn Licata, the excitement was palpable, especially for those stepping onto the stage for the very first time! Robyn beamed with pride, stating, "I am so proud of everyone who performed; they were just brilliant, singing so clearly and nailing those dance moves too!" As the skies threatened rain, we were grateful to be indoors, creating a cozy atmosphere for our concert. Friends and family filled the audience, their warm applause and cheers adding to the community spirit that made the event special. Many choir members arrived early, buzzing with anticipation as they got into position for their harmony parts, ready to share their love for music. The concert featured an array of well-loved songs, bringing together genres from pop to classic anthems. We delighted the audience with hits like "Unwritten," a hopeful anthem about new beginnings, and "I'll Be There For You," the iconic theme from *Friends* that had everyone singing along. With other favorites such as "Green Green Grass" and "A Little Respect," the joy of music filled the room, inviting smiles and even a few spontaneous dances from the audience. We were also proud to support the Figs charity, which focuses on enhancing the lives of those in our local community through various initiatives. Their work is vital, and it was a pleasure to contribute to such a worthy cause during our performance.

**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.
