Felix's Rock
Choir, London Formed in 2006 as an offshoot of London's premiere
rock school, Felix's School of Rock. Many of the parents of the rock
school kids (8-16) wanted to sing but didn't want to compete with a
band. The experiment worked and we have been going from strength to
strength ever since. We start with the premise that 'singing is good for
the soul' and we have evolved into a group of between 25-30 adults who
love to sing. It's no longer just the rock school parents. We sing
contemporary rock, pop and soul, from The Beatles, Crosby Stills & Nash,
Joni Mitchell, Earth WInd & Fire, Stevie Wonder and Neil Young, to name
but a few. We are a choir with a difference - no piano, no a cappella -
we have music director Baz Golin [me] on acoustic guitar, and choir
leader Lisa Powell conducting. As a community choir (non-readers, no
auditions), we develop all our arrangements organically, and the members
come up with many of the vocal parts during our singalong sessions when
we look at new material. We then refine the arrangements. We perform
publicly about 10-12 times a year in Southeast London at local festivals
(Lewisham People's Day, The Brockley Max Festival), pubs (The Jolly
Farmers in Lewisham, The Dirty South in Lee, The Hob in Forest Hill) and
other events and functions. We rehearse Monday Nights at The Tank
Gallery in Ladywell (behind the Ladywell Tavern, in Ladywell Rd).
