A Farnham woman has been seeing red as the movement she began has played a key part in Comic Relief.

Rock Choir moved the nation on Friday, March 21, with their stirring rendition of ‘Somewhere Only We Know’ on BBC1.

Their performance of the charity single was a key part of the Red Nose Day Show that also marked 40 years of Comic Relief.

Caroline Redman Lusher, who founded Rock Choir in Farnham 20 years ago, led 300 members from the North West and vocalists in the performance, with their number also including Farnham’s local Rock Choir leader Tom George.

The group’s rendition of the Keane classic was especially special for Caroline and Farnham with its headquarters still based in the town. Caroline’s deep connection with choir members was evident as she led, while Tom conducted the audience choir to further bring the experience to life.

Caroline also had a “special moment” with presenter Davina McCall in an evening that will live long in the memory.

She said: “Everyone everything was having the time of their lives.

“Imagine how I was feeling as I was taken back to my dressing room, thrilled with how well the Rockies had performed.

“I was feeling proud of my wonderful team, feeling glamorous in my Karen Millen outfit, wearing gold sparkly stilettos and with my hair and makeup glammed up by the BBC team.”

She then joked about a message she received from her husband. She said: “It read ‘hope the show went well – do I wash socks on 40 degrees or 60 degrees?’”

The Rock Choir version of Somewhere Only We Love is available on all streaming platforms, with all download proceeds supporting Comic Relief’s important work.

The choir has raised more than £26,000 for Comic Relief during the last fortnight.
