The Farnham creator of a musical phenomenon is feeling royally overwhelmed after being recognised by the King.
The legacy of Caroline Redman Lusher is set in stone as the inspirational founder of Rock Choir has been awarded an MBE in the King’s New Year Honours.
The pioneer of the contemporary choir movement has been recognised for her outstanding achievement in music and significant contribution to charity.
Caroline’s vision to create an “accessible, glamorous and inclusive” platform began in 2005 when 70 people responded to her advert in a Farnham coffee shop.
There’s now more than 30,000 members nationally with the Rock Choir also raising awareness and substantial funding for good causes.
“I’m overwhelmed with the news and thrilled to be give this prestigious honour,” said Caroline, whose recognition places her alongside The Beatles, Adele and Ed Sheeran.
“I feel fortunate every day, not only to be able to work with the greatest pop and rock songs of our time, but to share them with the British public and in turn, improve lives.
“I wouldn’t have achieved any of the success and longevity without my dedicated, loyal and talented team who believe in me, believe in the magic of Rock Choir and help me to look after the tens of thousands of the British public, the wonderful Rockies, who take part in Rock Choir each week.
She added: “There’s a lot of love in Rock Choir and I’m thrilled to celebrate this exciting news with my family, team and the Rockies.”
