All the profits are going to support Pershore Riverside Centre. In 1994 Pershore Riverside Youth Centre was founded. In 1995, a new Youth Centre was built on its current site land owned by Pershore Town Council. In 2017, two additional rooms, decking and a canoe/kayak store were added on. This is used by Wychavon Canoe & Kayak Club and Bonkers Activities, which provide water sports for the young people. The whole building is owned and managed by the charity, with rent payed to the council for the land. This unassuming but well-appointed building plays a crucial role in supporting young people and helping to change their lives.

More about the Rock Choir

Rock Choir has transformed the traditional concept of choral singing by making contemporary music accessible to everyone, regardless of musical ability or experience. There is no audition, no requirement to read music, and no previous singing experience is necessary. Open to both teenagers and adults, Rock Choir provides an opportunity for people to come together, learn contemporary songs and perform as part of a large and inclusive community.

The success of this formula is easy to see when you watch the enjoyment and energy the choir displays when they sing in Pershore Abbey.

Founded in the United Kingdom, Rock Choir has grown into what is described as the country’s original contemporary choir and the world’s largest. By November 2017, more than 25,000 members were rehearsing at approximately 400 locations across the UK, demonstrating the remarkable scale of the organisation and its appeal.

The choir’s achievements have also been recognised by Guinness World Records, with Rock Choir holding three records: ‘biggest hit act in the UK’‘largest musical act to release an album (signed)’ and ‘largest song and dance routine held at multiple locations’. Find out more here:
