A little bit of ‘Blackpool rock’ came to town as a brand-new women’s rock choir performed their first sell-out show last week, raising over £300 for a local charity.

Women Rockin Harmony Choirs®, led by Musical Director Tanya Lawrence, performed a programme of pop and rock classics, including songs by Tina Turner, Emeli Sandé and Lady Gaga at the Urban Arts Studio in St. Anne’s.

Profits from the event were donated to Headway Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde, a charity which provides information, support and social activities for people suffering from acquired brain injuries and their families.

The choir’s Administrative Director, Jackie Speight, said: “We met Samantha Ashcroft, the Network Coordinator for Headway Blackpool at a local business event; we admired her passion, energy and dedication to her work, and so we decided that Headway Blackpool would be our Charity of the Year for 2023.”
