ALE HOUSE ROCK - A Christchurch Pub Choir.
Christchurch’s best kept noisy little secret. Monthly sessions at Altiora at The arts centre.

If you know about the Aussie ‘Pub choir’ phenomenon, then you’ll understand the concept, for those that don’t, simply it a bunch of folks having a drink and a bloody good singsong with surprising results.
Hosted by Local music veteran David Thorpe AKA, Davey Backyard, The Skeatles, Li’l Chuck, The Black Velvet Band etc) these sessions are proven to be fantastic social sonic fun for all.

How does it work? We'll pick apart a song, create a bit of order and harmony, split the group into sections, call and response that kind of thing...

What songs will we sing? - Popular ones with lots of nice bits you can hum, holler, sing or harmonise with. previous songs have been Bon Jovi - Livin' on a prayer, Elton John - Rocket Man, The Beatles, Help, The Commitments - Must ang Sally

Can I have more info? - YES, This isn’t going to be St Paul’s cathedral choir, It’s all going to be a bit loose, a bit of a rabble-rouser, but
