"Where there is discord, may we bring harmony ...” Thirty years after Margaret Thatcher denounced the Winter of Discontent her words have taken on a new and surprising resonance - in choirs. Cheaper than therapy, more inclusive than sport and a whole lot more fun than an hour on the cross-trainer, choirs are relieving the credit-crunch blues of stressed-out professionals.

All over the UK, amateur choirs are packed. What's more, in a contemporary spin on Industrial Revolution philanthropy, choirs are springing up in white-collar bastions. The international law firm Eversheds runs a choir at its Cardiff branch, and at the Barbican in London last summer five financial firms staged The City Sings. Among them was the UBS Choral Society, founded in 2005 and now 80-strong. It meets on a Tuesday lunchtime, for an hour, rehearsing anything from Fauré's Requiem to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

A chorus of religious singers is the image most people conjure when they picture a choir. But passing by Merrow’s St Johns Centre on a Wednesday evening, it is not the sound of church hymns that can be heard as the Rock Choir rehearse.
 
In true Sister Act style, although not dressed as nuns, this groups of singers give traditional choirs a run for their money, with their performances of pop, gospel and motown tunes.
The brains behind the contemporary style choir is Caroline Lusher who began her professional music career at the age of 15, secretly playing the piano in nightclubs at the weekend, alongside studying for her classical musical scholarship.
