Any day where we get to sing is a great day and this was no exception! This performance for VICTA Charity Concert Crookes Social Club saw choir members appear live from the Rotherham, Worksop & West Sheffield Morning choirs. Leading them, was their talented choir leader Tom Rigby. Tom 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.
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 choir members made a day of it arriving hours before the performance and this concert featured members from a lot of local choirs and it took some time for the members to get into position in their harmony parts! 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 ‘Green Green Grass’ by George Ezra and ‘Shake a Tailfeather’ from the Blues Brothers movie. This recital was raising awareness and funds for VICTA. Many thanks go to the prefects who were there on the day helping.
Performance location: Crookes Social Club, Sheffield, S10 1TD

I come away after the weekly choir session with the best feeling ever and the companionship with fellow members is something money can’t buy.’ – Janet (Rock Choir member)

**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!
