Tonbridge Lions Club is to produce a Rock Choir concert that will include two of the Tonbridge based choirs who will perform a variety of pop, gospel and Motown hits.
Created in 2005 by director Caroline Redman Lusher, Rock Choir™ is the first choir to offer a very different experience in contrast to the traditional classical or community choir, pioneering a new approach to singing and entertainment for the general public to experience.
The idea for a charity concern came from four choir members whose husbands are members of Tonbridge Lions Club. Finding a local venue that could accommodate a choir of 120 was a challenge that was resolved by holding a choir practice at the River Centre in Medway Wharf Road. The Centre fully met the organising committee’s requirements and a date was set.
The concert will be at 8pm on Saturday 16 June. Doors open at 7pm, and refreshments will be available from the bar before, and after the concert as well as during the interval. Tickets are £8 for adults and £5 for children. Proceeds will go to Demelza House Children’s Hospice, chYps Children’s Hospice in the Home and other Lions Charities.
Chairman of the Concert committee, Lion Ken Thomas said,
“The charities chosen support children and young people with disabilities, giving help, advice and respite care, as well as bereavement counselling and other services.”
Tickets are available from Ken Thomas, e-mail kenmarjazz@uwclub.net or telephone 01732 352935.
