Are any of you involved in the Rock Choirs which are spreading all around the UK? I've just signed up for a free trial in my local one in Sale, Cheshire - but a bit of pre-information, or even better someone who already goes to this one, wouldn't go amiss!

I know someone who goes to one of the Herts Rock Choirs and she enjoys it enormously.

I've just looked it up - didn't realise it was run on a termly basis, thought it was more of a club. The price could put some people off!!

My neighbour is a member and she likes it a lot, even though she says that she doesn't have a great voice. Another lady I know is also a member, enjoying the experience despite having to work hard at learning the songs. They sing at local charity events and sang at Wembley Arena in the mass national event. There was a series on TV about Rock Choir and the Wembley Arena concert [on ITV in the winter?]. If I remember rightly, it is a franchise business so much depends on your local promoter/choirmaster. Some groups are large and some are small, at least at the start. I seem to recall it's £10 a night but no doubt, all that sort of information is available locally.

I had a look at the one nearest to me in Wilmslow, and I'm afraid the price put me off, that and having to do public shows. I would just like to go and sing and leave it at that!
