Manchester Choir Rock

One of the joys of working with CMM is that we occasionally hear from across the country how performances of Roger's musicals have gone.

We recently heard from the United Christian Singers, Manchester - a choir that originally formed for the 1990 tour of Mary Magdalene. They have supported us ever since. After their performance of Rock with us back in the autumn, they have put together their own soloists and actors for several future performances. This is what John Pye said in his email.

We (the UCS choir) had a wonderful time singing ROCK at all seven venues. It was wonderfully received by all who came to see it. None more so than the visibly emotional impact it had on the 25 women in Styal prison. Our 'finale', at All Saints & Martyrs church in our Deanery, was sold out with over 300 people and was a fitting climax to our 'Spring Tour'.

We are hoping to sing Mary Magdalene to celebrate the choir's 20th Anniversary near Easter next year, as it was the first musical they presented after the formation of the choir.
