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!

First time at Totnes Christmas market - complete success! We loved singing at this event. Very festive vibe in Totnes and a great crowd who loved our songs. The South Devon Rockies were on top form and we sang brilliantly considering the sub zero temperatures. On to Powderham Castle Christmas lights tomorrow night. Thank you Miss Ivy Events for a great festive event. See you next year!

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!

What a morning! 100 singers learning the iconic song 'You will be found' from Dear Evan Hanson with me at The Watermark, Ivybridge. A great pick me up and feel good session which is just what we all need at the moment. The choir did a brilliant job. Learning a brand new song in four part harmony was a challenging but hugely rewarding session. And, what a result! The sound at the end of our three hour workshop was simply amazing. Well done everyone. I hope you enjoyed the scrummy chords as much as I did!

Today we went back to Mount Edgecombe for our second visit of the summer. The weather wasn’t quite as nice as last time but we still had a great morning singing and smiling and entertaining the locals. Well done Rockies for being professional as always. Gigs are what you make them and today was great. Thank you Miss Ivy Events for the invite.

Thank you Dawlish Celebrates Carnival for another great gig. We always love to sing in Dawlish and the audience was lively and so appreciative. We even got a standing ovation at the end! I am proud of my choir members for singing with so much intensity and enthusiasm in such 'hot' conditions. Each and everyone of you were brilliant yesterday and you all look so smart. Well done everyone!

August 5th 2022 - Buckfast Abbey Summer fair. Fantastic gig at the most beautiful of venues. A hidden gem in South Devon for sure. Over 100 rockies came together to sing to a really appreciative audience who joined in with the singing and the dancing. The South Devon Rockies were on top form. Another day where I go home uplifted, very happy and very proud to be a rock choir leader. Rock Choir Caroline Redman Lusher Buckfast Abbey. Rockies - What was your favourite part of the day? 

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.

July 2nd 2022.  South Devon Big Sing.  Mutley Baptist Church, Plymouth. We had an amazing day together.  Over 150 rockies and all of our favourite rock choir songs.  We shared this wonderful day with the the ever inspiring Caroline Redman Lusher who is the founder and Creative Director of Rock Choir. You need to be there to experience the uplifting feeling of singing in choir of 150. Unbelievable and a great memory to take away from a great Rock Choir year.

Rock Choir. Caroline Redman Lusher. What a way to end the most wonderful Rock Choir weekend. 150 Rockies singing their hearts out yesterday at our big sing which was hugely emotional. Today we were at Teignmouth Airshow singing in the Devon sunshine. Another great gig with the Devon Rockies and another great audience. We are well and truly back guys! Im still buzzing from that fix of singing, are you?

What an awesome few days we had! South Devon Rockies literally rocked the whole of South Devon. To celebrate the Queens Platinum Jubilee we rocked Teignmouth, Dawlish, Torquay and Paignton all in the space of 4 days. A happy time for us all to remember! Rock Choir.  We even squeezed in a flash mob at the Riviera Airshow as part of our 70 falsh mobs in 70 towns event.  Great gigs!

We are getting ready for the Jubilee in our Rock Choir sessions this week. Rockies love any excuse to dress up and wave a flag. Here are the Torquay rockies starting the week off in great fashion as they always do! Singing, cake, chatting with friends, laughing, raising money for local charities Rowcroft Hospice - what a way to start the week. They sound awesome as well by the way!

That was a great Rock Choir day!  Over 100 rockies from across Devon joined forces to learn 'Somebody to love' by Queen.  The 4 hour workshop included singing through other Queen classics and learning this iconic Queen rock song.  Richard and Vikki joined together to lead the workshop where we learnt the entire song and performed it at the end.  We also looked at vocal technique and performance technique as well.  A fabulous occasion where we all worked extremely hard but had a huge amount of fun at the same time.

It has been a real pleasure working alongside Guide Dogs South West the past couple of years.  We are very proud to say that we have raised over £5000 and we can now 'Name our own puppy' and help fund the early years of training. The members of my rock choirs are wonderful and have been really creative with fundraising whilst singing and having fun along the way.
