SING: The Story of Rock Choir by Caroline Redman Lusher MBE
SING: The Story of Rock Choir offers a deeper insight into the journey behind Rock Choir and the vision that continues to shape our community today. Written by Caroline Redman Lusher MBE, the book brings together music, personal experience and the story of how a single idea grew into something that now reaches thousands of people nationwide and across the UK and Ireland.
Through her writing, Caroline shares her connection to music and the role it plays in bringing people together. The book reflects the same spirit that sits at the heart of Rock Choir, a belief in the power of singing to uplift, connect and support us through every stage of life.
The story behind a nationwide choir movement
In SING, Caroline Redman Lusher MBE charts the journey of Rock Choir from its early beginnings to becoming a recognised and much-loved part of communities across the UK and Ireland. She shares the moments that helped shape that journey, including national television appearances, a recording contract with Universal Music and the experiences that brought Rock Choir into the public spotlight.
It is a story built on determination, creativity and a clear sense of purpose. At every stage, the focus remains on people, on creating a welcoming space where anyone can take part, feel supported and discover the benefits of singing together.
Music, connection and personal resilience
Alongside the story of Rock Choir, the book also explores the personal experiences that have influenced Caroline’s work. With openness and honesty, she reflects on challenges and the role music can play in supporting mental health and wellbeing.
These themes are central to the Rock Choir experience. Singing together is not only about learning songs, it is about building confidence, strengthening connections and creating a positive space where people can feel part of something meaningful.
A story that continues through our Rock Choir community
SING is not only Caroline’s story. It is a reflection of the journey we continue to share as a Rock Choir community. Every rehearsal, performance and moment spent singing together adds to that story, shaping what Rock Choir is today and what it will become in the future.
Across our choirs, members continue to experience the same sense of belonging, support and enjoyment that inspired the book. It is a reminder of how powerful music can be when it brings people together.
Foreword by Michael Ball OBE
The book features a foreword by Michael Ball OBE, a long-time supporter of Rock Choir, who describes SING as:
“A fascinating, entertaining, and at times, highly-emotional read. Caroline’s personal and musical journey is dramatic and eye-opening and it quickly becomes obvious that music and singing is her world and has been right from the start. It’s obvious why Rock Choir has become the household name it is today. She has gone to great lengths and made huge sacrifices to ensure that Rock Choir reaches hundreds of communities and in turn has changed the lives of so many individuals across the UK.”
