The Choir That Rocks ended with a life-changing sing-song (Metro article)

Friendship was uppermost in The Choir That Rocks, which climaxed with a mass-sing song that changed people's belief systems forever.

Rock Choir founder Caroline Redman Lusher lead her flock into Wembley Arena for the big performance which, by sheer force of feel-good will, booted non-believers into touch and sold the Rock Choir dream as the harmonious embodiment of the Big Society ideal.

Young and old joined with the disabled and the grieving and the lonely for a singing session that should have had me reaching for the sick bucket, yet instead had me on the edge of tears. Pitched somewhere between an evangelical meeting (minus the God bit) and a happy-clappy flash mob, the Rock Choir experience seemed to offer a sense of community that has all but disappeared in a world where TV is sold on the basis that you never have to watch anything together.

As Rock Choir devotee Iris, aged 88 and on a natural Wembley high, put it: ‘I’m young again.’
