The Plymouth Rockies did us all proud and sang with real energy and emotion. It was a really great night and the feedback has been really positive.

Plymouth Rockies rock Central Park (Plymouth!)

First time performing at the Family Fun Day in Plymouth. Nice community gig singing to lots of lovely people. They loved hearing us and joining in. Well done to the Plymouth Rockies for a thoroughly professional performance. We had to deal with high winds, heavy showers, an outdoor acoustic, a dog show (which was really cute). Sounded awesome and we had lots of positive feedback. There was lots of food and drink stalls at the event and I tried a vegan sausage roll for the very first time. (Sorry guys, I wasn't convinced!) Thank you to the Newton Abbot Rockies and Dawlish/Teignmouth Rockies who came along in their tee shirts to support. It was lovely to see you and a big heart felt thank you for being there. #plymouth #newtonabbot #torquay #dawlish #teignmouth.

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.

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.

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!
