Rock Choir has been a huge success in Northern Ireland with over 600 Rock Choir Members now taking part in weekly rehearsals across the Belfast area. In that short time, Rock Choir has performed at a whole host of events and iconic landmarks in Belfast such as The Titanic Slipway, Stormont and Hillsborough Castle to name just a few.

Rock Choir Members sing uplifting, feel-good, pop, rock and chart songs, which include songs from the decades and from the current chart. From Guns’n’Roses to Whitney Houston!

Rock Choir was the first contemporary choir of its kind offering an accessible and inclusive experience for amateur singers and has now become a household name. With over 33,000 members in over 400 local communities, it offers an alternative experience to the traditional classical or community choir, with its uplifting ethos of fun, friendship and community spirit being a huge part of attraction. At an individual level, it helps improve people's well-being by building their self-confidence and self-esteem.

Clare, Sophie, Rachel, Jonathan and Beth would be delighted to welcome any potential new members to Rock Choir this September, to sign up for a FREE taster session please go to www.rockchoir.com
