Feeling Good: Summer Sessions - University of Exeter Great Hall - 23rd August 2026

Rock Choir members are invited to join hundreds of their fellow singers in stunning venues across the UK for a truly immersive singing experience.

Working with local Rock Choir leaders, you’ll learn a beautiful new choral version of Feeling Good by Nina Simone as well as singing some of your favourite Rock Choir songs, all accompanied by live piano — no backing tracks.

Surrounded by voices, you’ll experience the power of singing together in inspiring spaces, as well as take part in recordings with professional videographers. You will be featured in a national video of Feeling Good, featuring thousands of Rockies from all across the country, as well as a chosen ‘Rock Choir song’, bespoke to each venue, which will be brought together into a special “virtual album” to remember the experience.
