Rock Choir, the UK’s most popular contemporary choir with over 32,000 Members recently launched their ‘Keep Britain Singing’ campaign offering the public free DAILY singing sessions live via their Facebook page. In the last 28 days they have achieved a collective reach of ONE MILLION households with their daily dose of uplifting singing sessions and they are committed to providing this essential daily routine for the entire Covid-19 lockdown.
Rock Choir creates its own unique versions of feel-good and popular contemporary songs offering its members the chance to learn, enjoy and perform these songs with no prior musical or singing experience. With rehearsals taking place in over 400 towns across the UK, each choir enjoys a fulfilling social life following the choir’s ethos of support and nurturing and using music as a platform for health and well-being.
The lockdown has not deterred the Rock Choir Team or its Rockies as they move to a ‘Virtual Rock Choir World’ allowing the important friendships, connections and support of its members to continue when they are needed the most whilst the learning of new songs and harmonies takes place during live sessions led by their choir leader. With plans ahead this year to celebrate 15 years of Rock Choir at the NEC Arena in Birmingham, everyone is wanting to continue learning the new material so that when the choir comes together under one roof, everyone will be pitch perfect!
As well as a vast selection of other feel-good and well-known Rock Choir songs being taught, the official 5 brand new songs for the Rock Choir Summer term are: The Beatles’ A Hard Day’s Night, Queen’s We are the Champions, John Farnham’s You’re the Voice, Steve Winwood’s Higher Love and Paul Simon’s Bridge Over Troubled Water.
