Rock Choir

Rock Choir

Rock Choir is a contemporary choir from the United Kingdom, established in 2005 by musician and singer Caroline Redman Lusher. It is described as the country’s original contemporary choir and as the world’s largest in its field.

Activity and format

The choir gives teenagers and adults the chance to sing pop, Motown, gospel and chart songs. Participation does not require auditions, the ability to read music, or any previous singing experience. Rehearsals use rote learning rather than sheet music, and include harmonies and choreographed movements.

Size and recognition

Rock Choir holds three Guinness World Records: for the biggest hit act in the UK, the largest musical act to release an album signed, and the largest song and dance routine held at multiple locations. In March 2012 it has more than 16,000 members rehearsing in 186 locations across the UK. In August 2011, Coutts Woman Magazine describes it as a community singing phenomenon and one of Britain’s biggest brands. The Sunday Times Culture magazine says its formula is unique, and the Daily Mail describes it as Britain’s biggest choral movement.
