Rock Choir sing Shut Up & Dance at Wolverhampton Race For Life (14/06/26)

On Sunday 14th June 2026, members of the Stourbridge & Kidderminster Rock Choirs were once again asked to entertain local runners as they slogged their way around beautiful West Park in Wolverhampton in the annual Race For Life. This was a special gig for us as it was our very first gig with our new leader Nick, and his very first with Rock Choir! We also sang our two new songs for the first time - one without even having time to rehearse with our downloads. Huge thanks to our regional boss lady Sonia for coming along to help Nick out so we had a few more songs in our repertoire. You'll get there Nick! These types of events are always more informal than 'regular' performances as the Rockies waved and cheered on runners of all abilities as they passed us. This year, we rocked up at the bandstand so we could wave to the runners easier as we were closer to the running route. Thank you to those runners who sang along, danced on by or just waved as they passed through. You all did a splendid job and hopefully plenty of money was raised for Cancer Research UK. Well done to Nick on his first gig as our leader (very energetic he was too!) and huge thanks to our former leader Paola for all her support; past, present and future. You were amazing xx If you would like more information about Race For Life and Cancer Research UK, visit their website at www.raceforlife.cancerresearchuk.org If you would like more information on Rock Choir locally or nationally (we have choirs in more than 250 locations across the UK), you can visit our website at www.rockchoir.com and book a free taster session with us at one of the following venues: Monday 11am - 12.30pm = Stourbridge morning choir (Wordsley Community Centre, Wordsley Green) Mondays 8 - 9.30pm = Kidderminster (Trinity Methodist Church, 3 Churchfields, Kidderminster) Thursdays 8 - 9.30pm = Stourbridge (Kingswinford Methodist Church, Stream Road, Wordsley) PLUS - *NEW CHOIR* Wednesdays 7 - 8.30pm - Wombourne (Council Chamber, Civic Centre, Gravel Hill, Wombourne, WV5 9HA) Rock Choir is available to perform at local events and locations, subject to availability.
