KEEN singers from Bromsgrove joined more than 60 members of Rock Choir from throughout Kidderminster, Redditch and Stourbridge recently for a glorious return to the Bromsgrove Festival.

The choir took to the stage as part of the festival for the third year running, performing at the annual local choirs day on Sunday, June 28.

Members entertained the crowds with a full repertoire of uplifting, feel-good songs, including Clean Bandit’s ‘Rather Be’ and ELO’s ‘Mr Blue Sky’.

Val Wilson, events officer for Bromsgrove District Council, said: “It’s always a pleasure to listen to them sing and we had some very nice comments from the public.”

Rock Choir leader, Christa Hugo who runs choirs in the choir in Bromsgrove, as well as other branches in Kidderminster, Redditch and Stourbridge, added: “We were delighted to be asked to return to this wonderful festival and the members are always really well received by the public.”

The Rock Choir is part of a national contemporary choir organisation, with as many as 17,000 members in more than 300 towns and cities around the country, all rehearsing and performing, often to raise money for charity.
