Four Sell Out Shows with the Rockies.

What a ten days it has been.  Four Rock Choir shows all sold out.  280 choir members performed in front of a collective audience of over 1000 people. We have raised the best part of £7500 for local charities that are close to the hearts of the choir members. It has been an absolute pleasure to sing in such beautiful venues with great acoustics in front of wonderful audiences. All four Rock Choirs really stepped up to the mark and performed brilliantly and with such life, vigour, excitement and emotion.  Top job!  I really do have the best job in the world.

Rock Choir sing at Goodrington Paignton.

What a great way to end our very busy summer of gigs all over South Devon. This was our first visit to Goodrington for the Lions Charity Fun Day. The South Devon Rockies were on top form as they have been all summer. We coped admirably with a bit of rain as we lined up and guess what happened when we start to sing? Yes - the sun came out of course! Thank you everyone for being so professional this afternoon - you were brilliant! Rock Choir #torquay #newtonabbot #plymouth #teignmouth Paignton Lions Club.

Plymouth Rockies @Pretty Muddy 2023!

What a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning. Our Plymouth Rockies supported this amazing event in Central park. We sang lots of our favourite songs, danced, clapped and cheered as the participants ran by. This event is like the Race for Life but with some added obstacles, water and mud! We all stayed dry and clean though and had a very rewarding time together. Onto the summer workshops now!

Devon Rockies singing Elvis classics.

Exclusively Elvis Vocal Workshop March 4th 2023. Jailhouse Rock, I can't help falling in love with you, Burning Love. I love these workshops because we start from nothing and leave a few hours later with this wonderful arrangement of songs in three and four part harmony. A great achievement from all involved. What a great way to start a Saturday. What shall we do next? 60 Rockies from all over Devon.  It's always lovely to join up together and work with Vikki and her members.  Great day!

Local Library Gig in Newton Abbot with Rock Choir.

We have just lead a short 'come and have a try' session in Newton Abbot Library. We had a really lovely afternoon singing within our local community. Small and intimate gigs are really enjoyable. We sang some of our songs and then we asked the audience to join us in a few of our unique 'warm ups'. We all had a great afternoon and it's lovely to share the love in the local community. #newtonabbot#singing#teignmouth Rock Choir.

A morning on The Chris Evans Show!

What a fabulous experience that was. The excitement of travelling to London and going behind the scenes at Virgin Radio UK. The Chris Evans Breakfast Show Singing LIVE on radio was a little scary but totally exhilarating and so nice to be in amongst all those close harmonies with the band! Chris Evans is a great guy and looked after us really well. I have such variety in my job/work whether that be with Rock Choir or playing the violin.  Its a priviledge and I feel very grateful for all the opportunities I now get in the music business!

Festive end to a busy Christmas with Rock Choir.

Really lovely final gig of this busy festive season. We sing at the Mayors Carol service in Newton Abbot every year and every year this event gets better and better. Nice to entertain the locals in our local community and lead the audience in the traditional carols. Merry Christmas to rockies everywhere and especially to my amazing South Devon Rockies! Have a great time!

Rock Choir Rock Powderham Castle

South Devon Rock Choir have been very busy gigging this week. After Totnes Christmas market on Tuesday night we performed on the lights trail at Powderham Castle.  It was a tough gig with temperatures reaching -4 degrees but the rock choir were awesome and we entertained the visitors to the castle as they enjoyed the beautiful lights all around the grounds.  

On Friday lunchtime we rounded off the week by singing for the residents at Sefton Hall in Dawlish.  We sing here quite often and always enjoy this more intimate gig.  It is so nice to see the residents reaction to the music and the singing.  A great week of singing.

Rock Choir Christmas in South Devon

Christmas is well and truly here for the Rockies in South Devon.  Saturday the rockies from Teignmouth entertained the crowds at the Christmas tree lights switch on in town. On Sunday it was the turn of the Plymouth rockies who entertained the crowds at the Plymouth Christmas market.  Two brilliant gigs!  All of the rockies should be so proud of their performances.  Lots of great singing and lots of happy people and wonderful feedback.  Special mention to Sam who smashed her debut solo with Higher Love and a special mention to both performances of 'Carol of the Bells' - brilliant all weekend and a real highlight!

Rock Choir at Ice Cream and Bubbles Festival

Well what an awesome gig we had on Sunday afternoon. We performed two sets at the Ice Cream and Bubbles fair at the very beautiful Mount Edgecombe House. Thank you so much to Miss Ivy Events for the invitation - what a great event! We tried out our new song - I'd do anything for love which was very well received by the crowds. We coped admirably at the end of the song acapella when the power suddenly cut out! True professionals. Great gig, well done rockies! Proud of you all.
