Lovely summers gig in Chudleigh Knighton yesterday raising money for FrieNDs charity. Singing, tea and coffee and cakes on a sunny May afternoon. Very English! We always enjoy our local community gigs down here in Devon. Well done to all the South Devon Rockies for another great performance.

First gig of the year last Saturday at Tuckers Maltings Beer Festival in Newton Abbot. One of the highlights of our gig diary. Always a great atmosphere and great crowd. Two sets, two choirs, 120 Rockies loving the event and absolutely singing with passion and expression and a real joy! Well done everyone and a special shout out to our South Devon Rockies on their first gig - you smashed it! We are looking forward to a very busy summer. Next stop - Plymouth Old Town Square Saturday 3rd May.

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!

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

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!

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.

Plymouth Armed Forces Day 2024. I am feeling very proud today after another fantastic performance at Armed Forces Day in Plymouth. You all look so smart and thank you so much for your patience with lining up and getting all the little details just right. It makes a huge difference. I cannot tell you how many people stopped me on the way home to say how amazing the Rock Choir was. Well done everyone! Congratulations also to those Rockies doing their first gig with us. I hope you enjoyed it! Rock Choir #plymouth #plymoutharmedforcesday

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.

Great gig in the lovely Devon village Abbotskerswell. We had a lovely time singing and supporting the local primary school and local community. The weather stayed dry and the rockies enjoyed a bit of country dancing with the band. We all had a great day together and the singing was fantastic!

Absolutely awesome morning singing with our Plymouth Rockies (and a few guest rockies) at the Cancer Research UK Race for Life on Plymouth Hoe. One of my favourite gigs in the summer calendar this one as we support hundreds of amazing people doing the Race for Life for all sorts of different but very personal reasons. We sing, we clap, we cheer! You all looked and sounded brilliant and well done for singing so well in the humid conditions. I am yet again a very proud choir leader!! Rock Choir. 

The South Devon Rockies were on fire today singing at the English Riviera Airshow. Thank you each and every one of you for your professionalism and of course your amazing singing. We have had lots of great feedback from the audience. I hope that you have all cooled down a bit now after a warm sing in the sun. Brilliant singing - thank you all for being amazing! I'm a very proud choir leader this evening!

Lovely day with my Plymouth Rockies having a 'catch up' day. Lots and lots of singing! We went through Hold on, Bridge Over Troubled Water, I just haven't met you yet, Shine, She will be loved, This is me and Super Trouper. I think we are all a bit tired now but we feel great after an uplifting day together. Thank you all for working so hard. See you Tuesday!

A double header of Rock Choir gigs across South Devon for the Kings Coronation celebrations.  First off we sung in sunny Torquay on Sunday overlooking the English Riviera. A beautiful backdrop for a gig.  The rockies were on fire creating a terrific atmosphere as the crowds all joined in and sung with us and danced with us.  On Monday we did exactly the same in Dawlish.  Two fantastic gigs which we are very proud of. Great singing, great crowds and great atmosphere at both gigs.  Well done South Devon Rock Choir!

What a great way to start the brand new summer term. We love singing at the MaltingsFest and there is always a great crowd and great atmosphere. 90 rockies came together today with no rehearsals after five weeks Easter holiday and were brilliant. I hope you all enjoyed Toomer's challenge - 16 songs, 2 sets and all of the new ones from last term! Great gig, well done everyone. Shout out to the guys on their first gig today. You were awesome! Looking forward to the new term on Monday! Rock ChoirCaroline Redman Lusher #newtonabbot

Well what a day that was! I am emotionally drained. 150 Rockies from South Devon Rock Choir came together today to record the video for our 'Fix You' by Coldplay project. Each and every one of you should be immensely proud of today. What an amazing performance of a beautiful arrangement of 'Fix You'. You sang with such expression and so much emotion. I cannot wait to see the final video and hear the thousands of voices on the track. Well done everyone and Thank you. Rock Choir Caroline Redman Lusher Mental Health Foundation #mentalhealthawareness.  Look out for the final video with Richard playing a violin solo in the song.

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!

Well that was awesome!! A six hour marathon singing session with my Rockies from Torquay, Newton Abbot and Teignmouth at the beautiful Buckfast Abbey. It was a chance to learn/revise some of our older repertoire like 'Hold on' and 'Bridge over Troubled Water'. We all worked extremely hard and are shattered now but it was so worth it. All these 'new' songs sound great and ready for our set lists! Well done everyone. Onto Plymouth next where we will do it all again! We are going to sleep well tonight!

Christmas Gigs continued this evening at the iconic Theatre Royal Plymouth. Plymouth Rockies were invited to sing pre panto (Oh yes we were!). Lovely cosy venue with really lovely staff who treated us to mince pies afterwards. Plymouth Rockies were on top form and the performance was excellent and very well received by the theatre goers. A different kind of gig for us but one we thoroughly enjoyed. Well done everyone and thank you for turning out on a filthy wet and windy night!

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.
