Abbfest 2025. What a gig! I am so proud of each and every Rockie today for singing in that weather. We did it! It was either sing in the rain or go home. Well there was no chance of going home! Respect to you all. We managed 5 songs before the sound team called the performance off! True Rockie spirit! We are made of tough stuff down here in Devon! Shout out to our rockies on their first gig today - you will never forget it that's for sure! Love you all. Hope you all got home safely and are now nice and warm!

What a fantastic gig we had today in the sunshine at the amazing West End Carnival in Plymouth. A fab venue with a really great crowd and a great atmosphere. Plymouth Rockies sang out proud in their City and the feedback was just brilliant. My favourites bits of feedback today were about the smiley faces in the choir and the sheer joy that radiated around the audience while we were singing. A very happy and proud Rock Choir leader.

Babbacombe Summer Fair 2025. Our first visit to this event and it didn't disappoint. It was a really lovely friendly local community event which was an honour to support. We all had a great time singing to a really good crowd and beautiful views of the sea. Well done to all the Rockies for singing in hot conditions - I think we did good! Well done to all the rockies on their first gig, you smashed it! www.rockchoir.com #torquay #newtonabbot #plymouth. The next stop is Plymouth in a couple of weeks for the West End Carnival.

Buckfast Abbey Summer Fair 2025. Always a favourite. 230 Rockies from Torquay, Newton Abbot and Plymouth all coming together to share the love, ethos and values of RockChoir. A day full of fun, love, friendship and of course lots of singing in a stunning location. Just look at the smiling faces and you can see what kind of day we had. It always makes me feel very proud to be the choir leader when I hear the wonderful sound and harmonies of everyone singing together. Well done everybody, you should all feel very proud as well.

Lovely local gig today. We were invited to sing at Sefton Hall birthday celebrations this afternoon in the summer sunshine. Always a privilege to sing in our local community. Lovely to entertain the residents. #newtonabbot #Torquay #plymouth. Rock Choir Caroline Redman Lusher

Kingsteignton Ram Roasting Fair 2025. Its the first time we have performed at this event and it was a real treat. 90 rockies singing their hearts out with lots of the local community there to support us. Lots of lovely feedback. Well done everyone and a special shout out to those rockies singing at their first gig with us today! Great gig... Great performance... Great day all together. #proud #southdevonrockchoir #kingsteignton #torquay #newtonabbot Rock Choir Kingsteignton Ram Fair.

Wow! What an awesome gig that was! Over 100 Plymouth Rockies sang their hearts out in the newly refurbished Old Town Square in the heart of Plymouth City Centre. Its part of the new Saturday sessions to entertain the shoppers and visitors. The rockies were magnificent and the feedback has been incredible. Well done everyone and a special shout out to those Plymouth Rockies doing their very first gig. I hope that you enjoyed it as much as I did. We also heard The Cabarats who were brilliant with their reggae, ska, funk style which was perfect for this sunny Plymouth afternoon. Thanks to Michelle for being so helpful as well. A great day.

Sunday 9th March 2025! Red Nose Day Sea Swim and Sing. 100 Rockies either in the sea or singing from the beach. Amazing! You are all legends! Lovely to spend the Sunday morning with you all and a big thank you to Jane for the Bacon and Sausage Baps afterwards! Love it! Its all for Red Nose Day and you can donate using this link if you want to. Same again next year? https://www.justgiving.com/page/rock-choir-ltd-12 Rock Choir. Caroline Redman Lusher

Totnes Christmas Market 2024. I don't think we will forget this gig in a hurry! Terrential rain, leaking gazebos, large white horses attacking the MD, light parades.... The Rockies were of course incredible. They sang their hearts out and smiled all the way though the gig. (Two sets as well! Must be mad!) I think its safe to say we put a smile on the face of everyone in Totnes last night with that wonderful performance. We won't mention the very soggy, very grumpy choir leader! He is ok now. merry Christmas everyone and a very Happy New Year.

Absolutely incredible!  We have just finished three charity concerts in the space of a week in Torquay, Plymouth and Newton Abbot. 3 concerts, 300 singers, 3 towns, £7000 raised for local charities, over 1000 audience and one very happy and very proud musical director! The rockies should all feel so proud after singing their hearts out.  They all sang with such enthusiasm and passion and emotion and they all conducted themselves with such professionalism. They really are a special group of people who help and support each other and never stop smiling!  Fantastic times!

Paignton Zoo 2024. Unfortunately another damp and soggy gig for us all but that doesn't stop the rockies does it! Thank you all for being so professional in difficult weather conditions. You still managed to sing with a smile on your faces which was wonderful to see. We enjoyed ourselves didn't we? I think the monkeys did as well. Well done everyone. Next stop is our Torquay concert on Tuesday and Torbay Bay of Lights on Thursday!

Buckfast Abbey Christmas Fair 2024. Well that is a gig that will last long in the memory. It started to rain in the first song and didn't stop for the whole set. The South Devon Rockies still did a fabulous job and sang so well that the large audience stayed and sang and danced in the rain with us! We must all be mad! Great day. Well done everyone, I hope you have all dried off now. Next stop is Paignton Zoo on Sunday.

Just returned from our first gig at Abbfest having had a really lovely morning singing for the crowds. This will hopefully become an annual gig for us now. Thank you to all of the rockies who came to sing and those who came to watch, you were awesome and the feedback was so positive. A lovely way to spend a Saturday morning.

Lovely bank holiday wedding at the very beautiful Huntsham Court Country House, Devon. Day out with the Exe Valley String Quartet. The weather stayed dry although a bit windy. We played 'Wildest Dreams' from Bridgerton for the entrance of the bridal party, Mama Mia and 'Habits' for the signing of the register and we played out the guests with 'Firework' by Katy Perry. We even got to play some rock songs for the brides father, Sweet Child of Mine and Back in Black by ACDC! First of two very different gigs this bank holiday weekend. Off to Plymouth the Rock Choir tomorrow.

To round off a fabulous Rock Choir couple of weeks we came back to Dawlish like we do every August to sing at the Dawlish Celebrates Carnival. As always the atmosphere in the town and the audience was buzzing. Its always so nice to sing in our local community. Well done to all the South Devon Rockies who sang this morning. Lots of very positive feedback. Time for a short break now before we sing at the family fun day in Central Park, Plymouth. #torquay #plymouth #newtonabbot #teignmouth #dawlish Rock Choir.

Just returned from our Rock Choir Tour to the Edinburgh Fringe and straight up the Devon Link Road to the beautiful North Devon coast.  I joined up with the fabulous Exe Valley String Quartet and went up to Sandy Cove Hotel in Ilfracombe for a lovely wedding.  It was a bit soggy so we had to play indoors but that didn't matter at all. We even got to play our brand new arrangement of 'I don't wanna miss a thing' by Airosmith for the Brides entrance. We get to play at some stunning venues.

I joined the Exe Valley String Quartet today for a lovely wedding at a new venue for us.  Lavender House near Ashburton. Another lovely summers day playing outside in the gardens for the ceremony and the drinks reception.  Music requests included a new one - Habits by Tove Lo for the brides entrance.  We also played At Last and Sign Sealed Delivered for the signing of the register and a good old classic to send them on their way - All you need is love by The Beatles.  We were also asked to play a quartet version of Hi Ho Silver Lining - it kinda worked!  Another great day!

Friday August 2nd 2024. What a great way to end the week. 190 South Devon Rockies singing today outside the iconic Buckfast Abbey. We had a really appreciative and large crowd come over to watch and listen and I can't tell you all how proud it makes me feel when I hear the amazing feedback from the friends and family listening to us. Huge shout out to the rockies on their first gig today - you were brilliant. Next stop.....Edinburgh fringe!

Sunday 28th July - Dawlish Lawn/Band Stand. A lovely Sunday summer afternoon in beautiful Dawlish. Live music featuring the wonderful Torbay Brass Band the the South Devon Rockies. The rockies were again on top form as we performed two sets to a lovely appreciative audience. Our new songs went down really well. Love my rockies very much - always sound and look very professional even in hot conditions like today. Respect!

On Friday I played violin for a beautiful wedding in the very stunning Harbour Hotel Salcombe for Laura and Josh. It was an electric violin day with 'Wildest Dreams' from Bridgerton for the entrance of the bridal party. I particularly enjoyed arranging and learning 'Going Home' from the film The Local Hero for the signing of the register. This was for Josh and all the Newcastle Fans in the guests! Everybody exited to 'I believe in a thing called Love' by The Darkness on Violin! It was awesome! I then played for a couple of hours while guests had canapes and drinks. Lovely day. Thank you to Laura Louise Hall for being a brilliant wedding planner on the day.
