Over 700 enthusiastic Rock Choir members from across the South East united for a spectacular series of flash mobs and performances this past weekend, raising funds for Comic Relief in a truly unique and unforgettable way. The ‘Red Nose Rockie Road Trip’ took place across six locations, including Brighton, Folkestone, Tunbridge Wells, Hayward’s Heath, Fort Amherst, and Canterbury.
The vibrant fundraising weekend in Brighton and Hayward’s Heath was led by Rock Choir Leader Charlotte Nash, who showcased her talent by hula hooping while conducting her choir at Brighton Marina, delighting the crowd and further boosting donations. These performances marked the beginning of a month-long fundraising initiative by Rock Choir, with groups from all over the UK set to take part in activiites in support of Comic Relief.
Large crowds gathered at each location to witness the heart-warming and high-energy performances, generously contributing to the cause. Donations poured in as the choirs dazzled audiences with their renditions of popular songs and their boundless energy.
The South East Rock Choir Members were proud to be the first to kick off this nationwide effort, which will continue throughout the month with a variety of fundraising events and performances. Across the country, other Rock Choir groups will participate in everything from bake sales and quizzes to cold water swimming whilst singing, and even indoor synchronized swimming (whilst singing of course) in a shopping centre!
As part of the performances, all choirs showcased Rock Choir’s brand-new single, ‘Somewhere Only We Know’, set to be released on Friday, March 21st. This single will be a key feature in Rock Choir’s fundraising efforts, and the culmination of their month of activities will be a live performance on BBC1’s Comic Relief TV special on Red Nose Day (the day of release), featuring Rock Choir Founder Caroline Redman Lusher and over 300 choir members. This performance will represent Rock Choir’s community of 30,000 members across the UK.
