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 gig for Performance for Global Care featured choir members from the Durham choir. They were led by their choir leader Rob Slater. Some members were appearing onstage for the first time with the choir. Rob said ‘The choir members did so well, everyone was truly professional in their performance and deserved to be up there.’ 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. Some choir members made a day of it arriving hours before the performance and there were a few members from other nearby choirs there to help and sing on the day. It was awesome to see a great number of friends and family were in attendance. The choir performed songs from their recent repertoire such as ‘Two Hearts’ by Phil Collins together with ‘Mountain’ by Sam Ryder. The production was in aid of Global Care. Huge thanks to everyone who helped.

**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.
