Choir prepares for theatre performance
Local singers of the UK’s largest, contemporary choir, Rock Choir have been invited as special guests by award winning British vocal group, Sons of Pitches, to embark on their UK summer tour this week at Theatre Severn, Shrewsbury.
Sons of Pitches became the first winners of BBC2’s The Naked Choir in 2010, hosted by Gareth Malone, where their soaring solos, impeccable harmonies and stunning beatboxing, mixed with a large dose of comedy, proved to be huge hit with the viewing public.
Rock Choir leader, Rowan Richards said: "We’re all so excited to be supporting the Sons of Pitches boys on their tour. We’ve heard they’re a great bunch and so very talented – roll on Friday night.”
Rowan runs fun, weekly rehearsals in Bridgnorth, Shrewsbury and Telford. Rock Choir members get together each week to attend fun, friendly rehearsals where they are taught specially chosen pop and chart songs. There are lots of exciting performance opportunities throughout the year and many of them help raise money for charity. There are no auditions and no requirements to read music or have any previous singing experience.
Rock Choir is the UK’s largest contemporary choir, with more than 25,000 members in over 360 local communities. Rock Choir offers its members, once in a lifetime experiences, from recording sessions at the iconic Abbey Road Studios, to touring with well-known celebrities such as X Factor winner, Sam Bailey, English Tenor, Russell Watson and one-off celebrity performances with the likes of singer-songwriters, Chesney Hawkes, Toyah Willcox, Kim Wilde and Kiki Dee.
