Any day where we get to sing is a great day and this was no exception! This gig for Happy Valley Pride saw choir members appear live from the Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield & Dewsbury choirs. They were led by their choir leader Narelle Hill. Some new choir members were appearing onstage for the very first time! Well done to them! Narelle said ‘The choir members did so well, everyone was truly professional in their performance and deserved to be up there.’ This was FREE to attend.
It was partly cloudy through the show with a little bit of sun (hooray!). there were a few members from other nearby choirs there to help and sing on the day. It was satisfying to see the support of relatives and friends of the choir members, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The choir performed songs from their recent repertoire such as ‘Loco In Acapulco’ by the Four Tops and the wonderful ‘Shake It Off’ by Taylor Swift. Huge thanks to everyone who helped.
Performance location: Calder Holmes Park, Hebble End, Hebden Bridge, HX7 6HJ

Here is a quote about our choir – ‘I joined Rock Choir after being made redundant and being out of work for a year, so was feeling fairly low. Immediately I was greeted like an old friend and made to feel welcome. Since then I have gone on to meet new friends, have a great time every week and culminating to doing a solo at a local festival. If you’d have said to me a year ago I’d have the confidence to not only sing in front of people, but do a solo, I’d have told you not to be so silly. Rock Choir has become a v important part of my life, for the better.’ – Alex (Rock Choir member)
