If you have always wanted to join a choir locally, you can!
The Ponteland Rock Choir is led by singing teacher Rob Slater. We are the local community choir with the national reputation - join the Ponteland Rock Choir and experience the singing phenomenon that Will Smith described as 'Fantastic'. Whilst retaining our community spirit, we come together en masse for national and regional events, giving our members unrivalled performance opportunities and experiences beyond compare, ranging from singing on BBC Breakfast Christmas Special in 2011 to our local Newcastle upon Tyne music, food and fireworks festivals!
We sing in Ponteland every week during term time. You can join the choir by going to rockchoir.com or you can also book a FREE singing taster session to try it beforehand. If you feel you're not ready to join a choir yet, why not visit our performances page at rockchoir.com to see when we're next performing locally in Ponteland or Newcastle upon Tyne. There you can come along to see what we're all about - local people bringing the local Ponteland community together through something as simple as singing.
Here is a quote about our choir - 'Why I love Rock Choir: I've had lupus for over 16 years. I get to forget that once a week and I feel like I've achieved something in life now, as I've had to give everything else up because of it.' - Sheryl (Rock Choir member)
