A choir for everyone
Pop 'n' Rock Choirs
Fun. Friendly. Vibrant. Inclusive.
Pop 'n' Rock Choirs are all about bringing people together through the joy of singing. Our sessions are led by dynamic, professional singers who are passionate about music, performance, and creating a welcoming atmosphere for everyone.
🎤 No auditions needed! Whether you’re a shower soloist or a seasoned performer, everyone is welcome. Book a free taster session and come see what it’s all about — just pop in and rock out with us!
🎶 We provide sheet music for those who want it, and members get access to harmony part recordings to rehearse anytime. Our songs are uplifting pop and rock hits, arranged in two- or three-part harmony, so there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
💛 Join us and feel the benefits! Singing in a group boosts wellbeing, lowers stress (yes, really — it reduces cortisol!), and increases those feel-good serotonin levels. It’s also a great way to build confidence and connect with a supportive community.
Come sing, smile, and shine with Pop 'n' Rock Choirs!

Company Directors Georgia & Kim
OUR STORY
Georgia and Kim first crossed paths in 2020 when Georgia auditioned for The Hummingbirds, a 1940s-style close harmony trio founded by Kim. During their first conversation, they discovered a surprising connection: both had studied at Bretton Hall College (University of Leeds) and later earned teaching qualifications from Huddersfield University — yet somehow, their paths had never crossed.
Throughout their twenties, both women followed exciting and diverse performance careers — Georgia toured with a signed indie band, while Kim graced the stages of London’s West End. Alongside their work as performers, they also built careers as dedicated educators, teaching music and performing arts across a range of settings.
Eventually settling in Yorkshire, their shared passion for music and education brought them together. They began collaborating through Georgia’s choir business Singing Mums, teaching and performing together with The Hummingbirds UK. With over 20 years of combined experience in teaching and performing, they discovered a natural creative chemistry and a shared vision.
This dynamic partnership led to the launch of Pop’n’Rock — a company devoted to fostering community, building confidence, and enhancing wellbeing through the power of music and singing. Together, Georgia and Kim are on a mission to help others find joy and connection through their voice.
