'The Soldiers' and Rock Choir™

The wonderful relationship between 'The Soldiers' and Rock Choir™ was forged on the 'Coming Home' tour during March and April 2010. The link began in 2009 when Rock Choir™ founder Caroline Redman Lusher was asked to sing the Phil Collins track 'Against all Odds' on 'The Soldiers' double platinum selling debut album 'Coming Home'.

Since then band mates Sergeant Major Gary Chilton, Sergeant Richie Maddocks and Lance Corporal Ryan Idzi have helped Rock Choir™ members celebrate the launch of their own album Rock Choir Vol.1 at the Hammersmith Apollo. Rock Choir™ and 'The Soldiers' performed together at the huge outdoor family festival GuilFest 2010 in Surrey and together again with 7,000 members at Wembley Arena on Sunday 15th May 2011. Gary, Richie and Ryan also managed to fit in other smaller performances with the Basingstoke and Fleet Rock Choir™ members as well!

300 members took part in the 'Coming Home' tour across 6 dates in England and Wales! Rock Choir™ performed its own support set of our own album songs and then joined the boys onstage for 4 songs during 'The Soldiers' 2 sets including performing the single 'Coming Home' along with Britain's got Talent superstar saxophonist Julian Smith. You can watch this and other videos in the boxes below. Still to come is the backstage and on the road tour footage! There is also a very special moment caught on video when the boys say their own special thank you to the Rock Choir™ members for coming on tour.

In the spirit of Rock Choir™, the tour wasn't compulsory. The members who took part enjoyed working hard and really committing to the extra free rehearsals.

Enjoy the videos below that capture some fantastic moments on stage and some of the hundreds of memories the members who took part will treasure for a very long to come!

In October 2011, the relationship went full circle and right back to the recording studio where it had all started! Caroline was asked back to duet with Ryan on the incredible 'Wherever I Lay my Hat', a special extra track for the Soldiers 'Message to You' Album which also featured the official poppy appeal single with Robin Gibb. Amazingly, in this same month Warner released the 'Best of the Soldiers' which featured Caroline's original work on 'Against All Odds'.

Watch this space to see what's next on this stunning part of the Rock Choir™ journey.

Live at Southend

The tour was an incredible ride for the 300 Rock Choir™ members who took part. At times, it was emotional as you can see in this clip when Soldiers star Ryan Idzi is seen fighting back the tears. It was an unexpected, wonderful and life affirming Rock Choir™ experience.

The Soldiers Secret...
