If you have ever wondered 'are there any community choirs near me?' then the answer is firmly yes! The local Purley choir is run by singer/pianist Valerie Turnbull. We support a number of local good causes, raising money and awareness around Surrey and as a choir we also join up with the other choirs near us to sing to support national charities such as Missing People and both Comic and Sport Relief with flash mobs, fundraising events and gigs. Rock Choir is the no audition, no need to read music choir and it was the first of its kind in the country. Why not book yourself a FREE singing taster session before joining the choir. Just go to rockchoir.com and you'll find out all you need to know. You can also find out about your local choir leader, Valerie and how to join the Purley choir. Here is a quote about our choir - 'I spend many hours every day driving and in meetings. It's often quite a struggle to get to Rock Choir and I often don't really feel like making the effort. Something magic happens when I get there - a combination of the unfailing cheerfulness of our Rock Choir tutor, the physical movement, breathing and singing, the (usually!) lovely sound of the combined voices of the choir - suddenly the stress of the day melts away, energy returns and a feeling of well-being arrives. It's been a difficult year for me - got divorced, my best friend with terminal illness passed away and I survived a tricky restructure at work, Rock Choir has often been the one really positive highlight in my week - thank you!' - Sue (Rock Choir Member) Rock Choir is a winner of the Red Ribbon 'Big Heart' Award [https://rockchoir.com/awards-achievements/]. and holds 1 former and 2 current Guinness World Records. The choir is also credited with single handedly starting the contemporary choir movement.
