Rock Choir

We are following the success of Rock Choir™ with interest here at St John's Seven Kings because one of our members, Vida Small, is involved and sang in their recent Hammersmith Apollo gig (along with something like 2,500 others!).

Created in 2005 by director Caroline Redman Lusher, Rock Choir™ is the first choir to offer a very different experience in contrast to the traditional classical or community choir, pioneering a new approach to singing and entertainment for the general public to experience. It offers fun and entertaining weekly rehearsals using contemporary well-known hit songs but with an exhilarating range of original vocal arrangements and performance elements which appeal to both the member taking part and the audience watching.

Rock Choir™’s first album Rock Choir Vol. 1 features the voices of 1,000 Rock Choir™ members singing well-loved songs including Can’t Hurry Love, Valerie, Walking on Broken Glass and Something Inside So Strong. The album has been described by the Head of A&R for Universal’s label, Decca Records, Tom Lewis, as “The feel-good album of the year.” Profits from the track Something Inside So Strong go to the UK charity Refuge.
