If you are pondering whether there is a 'pop or gospel choir near me' then you may be interested in the local Newtownards Rock Choir.
The local Newtownards choir is run by Co. Down based musician Paddy Anderson. Over the past few years Rock Choir has become firmly ingrained on the national consciousness, with its unique mix of en-masse singing, fundraising, television appearances, and emphasis on supporting local communities. With performances at prestigious national venues such as the O2 arena (which we sold out!) and sporting events such as the 2012 rugby league final at Wembley Stadium which featured 1,500 choir members! - you too can have the opportunity to be a singing star!
If you find yourself racing through the week with no time for yourself, or struggling to meet new people in Newtownards, then joining your local branch of Rock Choir could be perfect for you. With our unique, no-pressure approach to teaching and fun, uplifting arrangements of your favorite hit songs Paddy will guide you through your weekly dose of music, fun and laughter.
Here is a quote about our choir - 'Rock Choir is great as it has given me the opportunity to sing again without the constraints of a formal choir. The pieces are broken down so you are able to learn them and you can also download songs to practise at home. Its a great way to release the stresess of life. Singing can help you to releases' happy hormones' which make you feel happy and you leave in a better state of mind. It has helped me through a difficult time. It is fun. The people are welcoming and friendly.' - Angela (Rock Choir member)
Rock Choir is a winner of the Red Ribbon 'Big Heart' Award. and holds 1 former and 2 current Guinness World Records. The choir is also credited with single handedly starting the contemporary choir movement.
