Local Rock Choirs Raise £800 to Champion Young People!

The Starr Trust were delighted to be chosen as charity of choice at the Christmas Ball for members of the local Rock Choirs, held at the Holiday Inn, Brighton on the 1st December.The Rock Choirs from Brighton, Burgess Hill, Lewes, Hove, Haywards Heath and Eastbourne are led by Charlotte Fane-Barnett, who brought all the choirs together for their Christmas celebrations.Charlotte said “We were delighted to support the Starr Trust this Christmas. Last year, we had planned to sing for them at Brighton Pier, which was unfortunately rained off, although our fabulous members still clubbed together to give a donation! Rock Choir is all about community, and it seemed fitting to support this local charity to help young people in our area”.Tracey from the Starr Trust said “The Holiday Inn did a wonderful job helping us to organise this event. The room looked spectacular and really made everybody feel festive. The guests had a fantastic evening and we are so thankful to Charlotte and Rock Choir for choosing us as the beneficiary for the event”.Rock Choir offers a very different experience to the traditional classical or community choir, pioneering a new approach to vocal training and entertainment and offering fun weekly rehearsals using well-known hit songs with original vocal arrangements and performance elements.Rock Choir has achieved a fantastic reputation in the UK for its sophisticated teaching techniques, unique style and the feel-good experience it gives its 16,000 members. It supports local communities and raises money for charities through performances and events.Rock Choir sing their our own versions of pop, Motown and chart songs, with no audition and no need to read music.
