Chaddlewood Farm Community Centre Summer Fair 2026. We had a lovely time this afternoon singing in Plympton. 65 Plymouth Rockies sang beautifully in the warm sunshine to an enthusiastic audience. This is where our new afternoon choir rehearses on a Tuesday afternoon and its a lovely venue within a really supportive and friendly community. Its been a busy summer so far and we haven't finished yet! Next stop is Bovey Tracey Party in the Park followed by the big summer fair at Buckfast Abbey in early August! Well done Plymouth Rockies - time to go and cool off!

Congratulations to Chloe and Shaban for your beautiful wedding yesterday at the gorgeous Deer Park Country House. The sun shone and the ceremony at the summer house was very romantic. My versatility as a violinist was challenged as amongst the music requests were 'flashing Lights' by Kanye West, 'I get the sweetest Feeling' by J Wilson, 'The Only Exception' by Paramore and 'It Must Be Love' by Madness. It was a lovely day in a beautiful setting for a wedding. Richard Toomer - Violinist. www.musiciandevon.co.uk #weddingviolinist #devonviolinist

Lots of great feedback from the audience. What a great Rock Choir weekend that was.

Armed Forces Day Plymouth 2026. This is right up there as one of my favourite gigs of the summer here in South Devon. I love the passion and pride that surrounds this event. 140 Plymouth Rockies gave an exceptional performance to the crowds up on the Hoe which was full of energy, life and or course passion. Lots of comments from the public about how professional we look as a choir and how brilliant we sound as well. Love this gig! Very proud choir leader! Caroline Redman Lusher Rock Choir #plymouth

I had the privilege of playing for a beautiful summer wedding at Upton Barn & Walled Garden on Saturday. Congratulations to Ellen and James on your beautiful wedding day. I was a surprise for the guests today so had to wait until Ellen's entrance to play. She walked down the isle to 'Enchanted' by Taylor Swift which works so well for the violin. During the signing of the register I played two more new pieces to me, 'Little Things' by One Direction and 'I guess Im in Love' by Clinton Kane. Again great for the solo violin. A lovely day in the Devon sunshine. #weddingviolinist #devonviolinist www.musiciandevon.co.uk

Lovely solo violin wedding at the very special Boringdon Hall Hotel. What a gorgeous venue to play and to have your wedding at. Always love a venue with a balcony as well! We had some Taylor Swift today, Wildest Dreams for the entrance of the bridal party and You belong with me for the exit. I also played a couple of romantic classics for the signing of the register, Can't help falling in love with you and Your Song!

Lovely day out with Exe Valley String Quartet today. A road trip through the country lanes to St Matthews Church in Landscove nr Totnes. Just the ceremony today but a special request to accompany a singer for a unique song called 'Flowers' by Jordan Rakel. We also played 'Concerning Hobbits' which is a favourite of mine and 'Now we are free' from Gladiators and we even played some My Chemical Romance! One of the highlights for me was the brilliant singing of the traditional hymns by the guests! www.exevalleystringquartet.co.uk

This may well just be my favourite gig ever! Lovely day out with Exe Valley String Quartet to play at the unbelievable Burgh Island Art Deco Hotel near Bigbury. Great venue with loads of character.

Plymouth to Santander Mini Cruise - April 2026. Wow! What a time we had together. Four fabulous shows, a flash mob, lots of spontaneous singing, lots of laughter, new friendships made, good food (maybe a little drink as well!). Great team work! This trip showed everyone what Rock Choir truly is - yes we are a great choir but we are so much more than that! I was immensely proud to spend the last two days with you all - you were magnificent! Feedback from the passengers was actually quite emotional and very moving! So positive! The captain of the ship even came down to listen! Lots of pictures and videos to share over the coming days but for now, a big thank you for being so awesome! Rock Choir Caroline Redman Lusher Brittany Ferries

Plymouth Rockies enjoyed singing in the Central Library this afternoon. It was the library's 10th Birthday and they have been having lots of different creative events and musical performances this week. It was lovely to perform with a smaller choir to a smaller audience and it made for a really intimate gig. Well done everyone, you sounded fantastic! Next gig is on Saturday in Old Town Square! www.rockchoir.com

Saturday I spent the day working with the Plymouth Philharmonic Choir and orchestra under the baton of Dr Paul Foster. The concert programme included some of my absolute favourite pieces of choral music including Mozart’s Requiem and Mozart’s Exultate. It was a wonderful experience and a great opportunity for me to get my classical music fix. A super concert with a great choir and a very appreciative audience. #orchestralviolinist #freelanceviolinist

First visit of the year to the beautiful Rockbeare Manor. Solo violin wedding on electric violin. Music requests included The Joker and the Queen by Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift. The bride made a Bridgerton style entrance to Wildest Dreams. I played God only knows and Tenerife Sea for the signing of the register and then the very lively Came here for Love for the big finale. I then stayed on for an hour to play a variety of upbeat rock and pop songs while the guests caught up over a drink! A really lovely wedding! #musiciandevon #dawlishfiddler #weddingviolinist
