Mark your calendars and warm up your vocal cords—because one of Kent’s most beloved musical powerhouses is back with another show-stopping event. On Friday 6th June at 7:00pm, the Heart of Kent Show Choir will take to the stage at The Sinden Theatre, Tenterden for an unforgettable evening of music, community, and compassion.
This special concert, titled “Songs for Celia”, is more than just a dazzling musical performance. It’s a heartfelt tribute to the Celia Blakey Day Unit at William Harvey Hospital—a vital cancer care centre offering screening, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, palliative care, and bereavement support to countless individuals and families across Kent.
🎶 A Cause Close to the Choir’s Heart
For fifteen years, the Heart of Kent Show Choir has been captivating audiences with bold, uplifting performances while quietly becoming a fundraising phenomenon. Based in Tenterden, the choir has raised an astonishing £300,000 for local and national charities through six annual events that combine high-energy entertainment with powerful community spirit.
Their latest production, Songs for Celia, brings together the two things the choir does best: celebrating life through song, and supporting important causes. All proceeds from the evening will go directly to the Celia Blakey Day Unit at William Harvey Hospital in Ashford—a facility that plays a vital role in the lives of cancer patients and their families across East Kent.
🌟 Reimagined Rock & Pop Like You’ve Never Heard Before
What can you expect on the night? Think spine-tingling harmonies, glittering costumes, and goosebump-inducing vocals.
The choir will be performing reimagined rock and pop classics, with fresh takes on hits from legendary artists like:
- Harry Styles
- Sia
- Benson Boone
- Brandi Carlile
- Josh Groban
- Peter Gabriel
- Madonna
- Radiohead
- Beyoncé
- Adele
…and many more.
Every song has been carefully arranged and choreographed to surprise and delight even the most seasoned concertgoer. Whether you’re a lover of contemporary pop, soul-stirring ballads, or iconic anthems, you’re sure to find something that makes your heart sing.
As Simon Cowell himself once said of the group:
“They dare to be different. They are great, really great!”
And that’s exactly what the Heart of Kent Show Choir promises—a different kind of night out. One that fills the room with joy, energy, emotion, and most importantly—purpose.
