THEY WILL ROCK YOU: THE RISE OF ROCK CHOIR
With 7,500 members, Rock Choir has filled Wembley, signed a record deal and is now the
subject of a TV show. Alice-Azania Jarvis meets the woman behind it.
Nicholas Williamson had never done anything like it. ‘I’ve always liked music, but I’d never
taken any opportunities,’ explains the twenty-year-old student. ‘I wasn’t very confident.’ But when
his mother joined a local choir and his girlfriend expressed interest in doing the same, he decided
to give it a go. Before long, the pair had signed up as members of Rock Choir, Glasgow City
Centre. ‘I wanted to be part of something big - and now l am.’
Rock Choir is, by all accounts, ‘something big’. With 7,500 members nationwide, the choir
has signed a three-album record deal and in May, filled out Wembley Arena to give a special
performance to 3,500 spectators.
The whole thing is the brainchild of Caroline Redman Lusher. A professional singer from the
age of fifteen, she studied contemporary music at Salford University before spending four years
as a member of a band, entertaining guests at a top London hotel. ‘I was lucky to make a living
for so long.’ she reflects. Eventually, though, she gave it up and took up a post as a teacher.
It was while she was teaching performing arts and music that the Rock Choir model began
to take shape. ‘I had all these students who wanted to sing, but hadn’t necessarily had any
training; it was about bridging the gap between amateur and professional.’ What began as a
small gathering of about twenty quickly swelled to a far more challenging 170. ‘Before long, I
had the mums and dads begging for their own version - that’s when I realised that there was a
market amongst the general public.’
And so it was that, in 2005, Lusher quit her job, borrowed £1,000 from her family and pinned
a poster up in her local coffee shop. ‘I was hoping for twenty people,’ she says of her first choir
practice. ‘My dad and I laid out forty chairs. In the end, seventy turned up.’ They were people of
all ages, backgrounds and abilities; crucial to Rock Choir’s appeal is the fact that there is no
selection process, meaning that even the least confident, most inexperienced of singers can
relax and enjoy themselves.
For the following three years, Lusher remained the only teacher at Rock Choir, but
eventually demand became too much and she had to recruit other instructors. Doing so was a
risk since her charisma accounts for much of Rock Choir’s success. She is energetic,
enthusiastic and imaginative, playing the piano and calling out instructions into her microphone
headset to choir members who learn only by repetition. Her teaching style combines
professionalism with accessibility. Imitating it is certainly not easy.
Stef Conner had never heard of Rock Choir until she applied to be an instructor for a new
group in Yorkshire. ‘I was studying for a PhD in classical composition and I needed a job that I
could do while I was studying.’ With only a limited knowledge of pop music, working with the
new style was a challenge for Stef - but one that has paid off. ‘I spend a lot of time in isolation,
composing. Rock Choir has opened up a whole new world to me: a new style of music, but also

a place where I can go and be an extrovert.’ Williamson feels the same way: ‘You’re part of a
team having fun,’ he reflects.
It’s precisely this sort of experience - among both teachers and pupils - that accounts for the
choir’s rapid success. May’s appearance at Wembley was typical of Rock Choir: over the years,
it’s pulled off a host of similar stunts - from flash mobs to Guinness World Records. The next
project will be even bigger and better, says Lusher. ‘One day I’d love to perform at the Royal
Variety Show’ she says, ‘and there’s been some talk of the Olympics too. Ultimately, it’s about
what the members can say they’ve done. The sky’s the limit.’
