Chatterbox, the best interviews with 00:01:23.709 --> 00:01:36.120 Nick and Sue. Chatterbox, the best news Now on 00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.480 Chatterbox UK, we're just lucky enough to welcome 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.980 Zander James, Le Petit. Zander James, welcome. 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.980 How are you? Hello. I'm very well, very well. 00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:47.900 Thank you very much for having me. It's a pleasure. 00:01:47.900 --> 00:01:50.180 You're welcome. I think you're the third time 00:01:50.180 --> 00:01:51.920 we've had something to do with the rock choir 00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:56.200 on, which is great. And first time for you, Zander 00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.180 James. So a little bit, although the listeners 00:01:59.180 --> 00:02:01.739 know. about the rock choir. I'm going to be familiar 00:02:01.739 --> 00:02:04.099 by now. How about a little bit about you before 00:02:04.099 --> 00:02:06.359 we talk about where the rock choir is at the 00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:09.199 moment. Tell us about how you got into music 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.080 and choirs and all that stuff, perhaps inspirations 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.580 as a child, something like that. Yeah, I've been 00:02:14.580 --> 00:02:18.060 involved in music since I was nine years old. 00:02:18.060 --> 00:02:20.879 That's when I first started my passion with music. 00:02:21.659 --> 00:02:24.060 And then all the way through school and college 00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:28.080 and then to university, continued studying and 00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:31.819 perfecting my art. And then I ended up traveling 00:02:31.819 --> 00:02:33.639 for a bit actually. I traveled around Europe 00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.870 as a singer. kind of dancer in production shows, 00:02:37.090 --> 00:02:39.610 across hotels, across Europe. And then I thought 00:02:39.610 --> 00:02:41.469 it was time for a bit of a grown up job. So I 00:02:41.469 --> 00:02:44.449 moved back to the UK. But what actually ended 00:02:44.449 --> 00:02:48.870 up with was Rockfire. And then I've been now 00:02:48.870 --> 00:02:51.870 with the company for about seven years. I used 00:02:51.870 --> 00:02:55.889 to run choirs down in Southwest around Bristol. 00:02:56.509 --> 00:02:59.009 And then a couple of years ago, I moved up to 00:02:59.009 --> 00:03:00.849 Greater Manchester. So that's where I run choirs 00:03:00.849 --> 00:03:04.960 now. Cool. Fantastic. A little bit where you 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:06.240 said you were going around Europe and stuff. 00:03:06.379 --> 00:03:09.099 I mean, was that actually Xander James turning 00:03:09.099 --> 00:03:10.919 professional? Was that paid for? Was it more 00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:13.520 for keep and surviving while you were going through 00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:16.080 Europe? No, that was my, it was my full -time 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:19.300 job was to entertain holidaymakers. Yeah. All 00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:23.219 over Europe. Yeah. Perfect. Dancer as well. Well, 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:28.400 perfect. I love that very much. So your hobby 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:30.919 and your living all rolled into one. That's it. 00:03:31.219 --> 00:03:36.360 Yeah. Okay. So tell us about this single that's 00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:39.900 coming out on the 19th of July. Tell us all about 00:03:39.900 --> 00:03:42.539 that and how that got put together and how many 00:03:42.539 --> 00:03:46.240 of you are on it? So the first thing that we 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.080 did is that we got one of my colleagues, Richard 00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.439 Toomer. He is an incredible choir leader, but 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:56.080 he's also a fantastic violinist as well. So we 00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:57.960 started the project by getting some of his choir 00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:02.319 members together and creating our own version 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.580 of the track, Fix You by Coldplay. And we had 00:04:06.580 --> 00:04:08.939 them in the room that the choir in the room recording 00:04:08.939 --> 00:04:11.479 their voices alongside Richard on his solo violin 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.479 as well. And then on top of that, we then opened 00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.759 up the opportunity to the choir members across 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.740 the country. So we've got acquires in over 400 00:04:21.740 --> 00:04:25.860 communities across the country and there's 33 00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:29.220 ,000 members. So we opened up the opportunity 00:04:29.220 --> 00:04:33.319 to record remotely to all of those members and 00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:35.779 we ended up with just over a thousand voices. 00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:41.199 So we had choir members, choir leaders from all 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:43.319 over the country that submitted their recordings 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.060 and it all got mixed together and we created 00:04:46.060 --> 00:04:50.029 this wonderful this music video to go along with 00:04:50.029 --> 00:04:52.889 it as well, which is recorded with Richard and 00:04:52.889 --> 00:04:56.490 his members down in Devon in a gorgeous venue. 00:04:57.689 --> 00:05:01.329 And you'll see on the video that during the session, 00:05:01.410 --> 00:05:04.389 they all started holding up words that meant 00:05:04.389 --> 00:05:08.089 something to them about their mental health and 00:05:08.089 --> 00:05:11.050 how that affects their singing and vice versa, 00:05:11.089 --> 00:05:12.990 how they're singing then affects their mental 00:05:12.990 --> 00:05:17.240 health. And so Then born from that was this, 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.800 this affiliation with the mental health foundation 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:23.079 and what they do to support people. Um, and so 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:25.699 then our single coming out on 19th of July is 00:05:25.699 --> 00:05:28.639 raising money for mental health foundation. That's 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.699 perfect. That's perfect. So, uh, uh, mental health 00:05:31.699 --> 00:05:34.560 is, uh, you know, not obviously, but mental health 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:38.160 is the, is, uh, quite often to the outside world, 00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.899 uh, a silent thing that people suffer from now, 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:43.800 most people at one point or another in their 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.819 lives. have suffered from some level of mental 00:05:47.819 --> 00:05:49.660 health one way or another whether it be a marriage 00:05:49.660 --> 00:05:53.240 breakdown or anything it could be so it is in 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:55.860 many ways a bit of one those sort of silent things 00:05:55.860 --> 00:05:58.699 that people suffer with but of course this is 00:05:58.699 --> 00:06:02.740 making people aware through music and soul which 00:06:02.740 --> 00:06:07.319 is a fantastic thing and uh yeah uh perfect yeah 00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:10.639 so i'm sorry i'm not aware of the mental health 00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:14.740 foundation what is that They are a charity that 00:06:14.740 --> 00:06:18.680 reach out to people to offer them support and 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:23.019 techniques to cope with any mental health illness 00:06:23.019 --> 00:06:26.920 that they may come across. We all have mental 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.540 health and whether that's good or bad, and the 00:06:30.540 --> 00:06:33.459 Mental Health Foundation are there to help and 00:06:33.459 --> 00:06:36.079 support and rebuild those people that find that 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:39.620 their mental health is on the bad side. Thank 00:06:39.620 --> 00:06:43.329 you. So it's more of a thing, perhaps, where 00:06:43.329 --> 00:06:47.529 this is specially aimed at people with mental 00:06:47.529 --> 00:06:49.750 health, where perhaps the Samaritans, as great 00:06:49.750 --> 00:06:52.629 as they are and they're there to listen, they're 00:06:52.629 --> 00:06:57.550 sort of a wider spectrum, perhaps. So what we're 00:06:57.550 --> 00:06:59.990 talking about here is purely mental health. If 00:06:59.990 --> 00:07:03.670 somebody brings them up or gets in touch, then 00:07:03.670 --> 00:07:05.990 somebody at the other end of the phone automatically 00:07:05.990 --> 00:07:08.759 knows. there is going to be a mental health issue 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:10.519 they're phoning up about. Is that more as how 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.500 it works? Yeah, and they'll signpost the people 00:07:13.500 --> 00:07:15.819 to the right places. So it may be that they might 00:07:15.819 --> 00:07:19.120 induct signposting people to the Samaritans or 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:22.379 to Shout, which is a tech service as well, where 00:07:22.379 --> 00:07:27.040 you can just air your problems, talk to someone 00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.660 and find the right ways and right techniques 00:07:29.660 --> 00:07:33.500 that may help you to improve your mental health. 00:07:33.790 --> 00:07:36.250 Because a lot of people express themselves, don't 00:07:36.250 --> 00:07:38.910 they, through singing? Is that correct? Absolutely. 00:07:39.069 --> 00:07:41.629 I always say to all of my members that the reason 00:07:41.629 --> 00:07:43.850 that we sing is to communicate with each other 00:07:43.850 --> 00:07:46.970 and that's why we have words and lyrics in our 00:07:46.970 --> 00:07:51.730 music and that communication can be of a feeling 00:07:51.730 --> 00:07:54.629 that we understand or a feeling that we are feeling 00:07:54.629 --> 00:07:57.189 at the time and that's why different songs resonate 00:07:57.189 --> 00:07:59.589 with different people because of the meanings 00:07:59.589 --> 00:08:03.680 behind them and being able to communicate your 00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.319 feelings and your emotions through song is a 00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.560 really powerful thing. And then to be able to 00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.279 share that experience with people around you. 00:08:11.300 --> 00:08:13.279 And so that's why singing in a choir is amazing 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.100 because you're all breathing and singing at the 00:08:16.100 --> 00:08:18.620 same time, singing about the same things and 00:08:18.620 --> 00:08:21.180 sharing those emotions with each other. I bet 00:08:21.180 --> 00:08:23.279 there's some lovely feelings after they've achieved 00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:27.879 this song. I guess it's quite, in many ways, 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.579 it's quite uplifting for many people. those taking 00:08:31.579 --> 00:08:34.759 parts and people listening to it because I have, 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.179 obviously we do do some research before we just 00:08:37.179 --> 00:08:40.879 have guests on and well Sue's not, Sue's heard 00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:44.500 Fix You but I've had the pleasure, I've been 00:08:44.500 --> 00:08:47.419 lucky enough to see the video as well so you 00:08:47.419 --> 00:08:52.460 will be later but yeah and yeah and as I said 00:08:52.460 --> 00:08:55.679 we are familiar with the rock choir and I seem 00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:58.080 to remember this time last year I think it was 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:02.559 actually but we covered something similar for 00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:04.820 mental health awareness. I'm sure you did something 00:09:04.820 --> 00:09:08.440 in 2023 as well that we covered. I'm sure we 00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:11.240 did, looking at that. This is Nick and Sue with 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.299 Cheddar Box, giving you all you need to know 00:09:13.299 --> 00:09:18.480 about musical entertainment. Cheddar Box, Cheddar 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:39.490 Box, Cheddar Box. It takes two to tangle. What 00:09:39.490 --> 00:09:42.929 is the youngest age of the youngest choir member 00:09:42.929 --> 00:09:46.429 and the oldest choir member? So we open up our 00:09:46.429 --> 00:09:52.370 sessions to anyone from 11 plus really. Personally, 00:09:52.590 --> 00:09:56.730 my choir, my youngest member is 14 and he comes 00:09:56.730 --> 00:09:59.750 along to my Bolton sessions on a Thursday. Um, 00:09:59.750 --> 00:10:01.529 and then the oldest member, I would not like 00:10:01.529 --> 00:10:06.269 to ask the age, but there's no cutoff. Um, so 00:10:06.269 --> 00:10:09.970 yeah. Um, we also have a side project that happens 00:10:09.970 --> 00:10:12.889 in holiday times as well called rock stars, where 00:10:12.889 --> 00:10:16.029 we go into school aged children and we, we run 00:10:16.029 --> 00:10:18.990 workshops for them as well. Um, recently there 00:10:18.990 --> 00:10:21.730 was one in Bristol and at the Bristol aquarium. 00:10:22.190 --> 00:10:24.470 So we, um, we taught them a little bit of a little 00:10:24.470 --> 00:10:27.269 mermaid medley. Um, so we do, yeah, we work with 00:10:27.269 --> 00:10:31.509 anything from the six up to 600. Let's say that. 00:10:31.590 --> 00:10:34.750 Yeah. Yes. Well, I don't think Sue was trying 00:10:34.750 --> 00:10:36.730 to get, was there an age cap? I think it's just 00:10:36.730 --> 00:10:38.669 out of interest. If you've got any, is somebody 00:10:38.669 --> 00:10:40.929 in their nineties or eighties or whatever, the 00:10:40.929 --> 00:10:44.049 oldest. Yeah. I didn't really mean, was there 00:10:44.049 --> 00:10:46.690 a cap? No, it wasn't an age cap. No, I was trying 00:10:46.690 --> 00:10:48.909 to get the youngest to the oldest member. I couldn't 00:10:48.909 --> 00:10:54.340 get the words out. Well, I wouldn't have imagined 00:10:54.340 --> 00:10:57.299 that someone gets to 70 and they get booted out 00:10:57.299 --> 00:11:01.820 or something. Absolutely not. They hit 70 and 00:11:01.820 --> 00:11:04.320 they become party animals at 70 and they're the 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:08.179 ones you can't stop dancing. Well, hope for me 00:11:08.179 --> 00:11:13.000 yet. Remember, do they have to be able to sing 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:15.919 to be in the choir? So if I say even if I wanted 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.259 to join, I can't even sing to be honest, but 00:11:18.259 --> 00:11:20.120 say if I wanted to join, would there be a special 00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:21.960 requirement in my singing? Would I have to be 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:24.649 able to sing? Absolutely not. There's no audition 00:11:24.649 --> 00:11:27.450 process at all and there is no sheet music to 00:11:27.450 --> 00:11:29.090 be seen in a session either. So you don't need 00:11:29.090 --> 00:11:32.809 to be able to read music. We've got lyrics with 00:11:32.809 --> 00:11:36.789 you and everything is taught by repetition. So 00:11:36.789 --> 00:11:38.490 I'll sing it a few times and then you'll sing 00:11:38.490 --> 00:11:40.110 it with me and then you'll try it without me. 00:11:40.350 --> 00:11:42.529 And then through the session, we build up the 00:11:42.529 --> 00:11:45.710 song session by session just by listening and 00:11:45.710 --> 00:11:49.220 repeating. And with there being no audition process, 00:11:49.340 --> 00:11:52.179 it is open to everybody. And we are an all -inclusive 00:11:52.179 --> 00:11:54.539 choir that invites everybody to come and join 00:11:54.539 --> 00:11:57.899 and enjoy music. Most of my members will tell 00:11:57.899 --> 00:11:59.460 you, if you ask them individually, most of them 00:11:59.460 --> 00:12:01.059 will say, well, I can't really sing, but I like 00:12:01.059 --> 00:12:04.419 to do it in a choir. And then you go out and 00:12:04.419 --> 00:12:07.240 do a gig and they'll perform and you'll go, what 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.679 do you mean you can't sing? That sounded incredible. 00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:12.659 I think I'd rather sing in a choir than on my 00:12:12.659 --> 00:12:16.110 own. It's a way of just getting get you to the 00:12:16.110 --> 00:12:18.610 level where they are and I can understand how 00:12:18.610 --> 00:12:22.450 it could work also with somebody in a part of 00:12:22.450 --> 00:12:24.149 a choir or group of people. I can see how that 00:12:24.149 --> 00:12:26.710 works. Yeah, I always like to think of, if you 00:12:26.710 --> 00:12:29.070 go to a football match as well, you get a group 00:12:29.070 --> 00:12:31.710 of people singing together that you don't hear 00:12:31.710 --> 00:12:33.450 the person that's out of tune or singing the 00:12:33.450 --> 00:12:37.009 wrong words. As a group together, as a community 00:12:37.009 --> 00:12:39.350 together, you're supporting and singing with 00:12:39.350 --> 00:13:02.169 each other. Exactly. all donations from the fundraising 00:13:02.169 --> 00:13:04.929 video, which I've been lucky enough to see. We'll 00:13:04.929 --> 00:13:08.230 go straight to the charity that we talked about, 00:13:08.370 --> 00:13:11.429 the Mental Health Foundation. And there's a giving 00:13:11.429 --> 00:13:14.590 link, which I must mention now. And that's justgiving 00:13:14.590 --> 00:13:20.409 .com, www .justgiving .com. Page four slash. 00:13:20.570 --> 00:13:23.269 Yeah, OK. We make that all available at the end 00:13:23.269 --> 00:13:26.370 and on our press release when we do it about 00:13:26.370 --> 00:13:28.490 the show. So all the stations will have that. 00:13:28.590 --> 00:13:31.769 They might. They may want to talk about it and 00:13:31.769 --> 00:13:33.549 like the morning show or something like that 00:13:33.549 --> 00:13:35.490 as to what's coming up and you've got these links 00:13:35.490 --> 00:13:37.690 and everything else. But I'll make that I'll 00:13:37.690 --> 00:13:39.549 click the link myself and make sure I give that 00:13:39.549 --> 00:13:41.889 out properly at the end. So there is a JustGiving 00:13:41.889 --> 00:13:46.029 .com page for Mental Health Foundation. And I 00:13:46.029 --> 00:13:49.190 believe anyone seeing the video on YouTube, I 00:13:49.190 --> 00:13:51.629 think I'm right saying that there is the JustGiving 00:13:51.629 --> 00:14:15.370 link if they scroll down. of the What else was 00:14:15.370 --> 00:14:17.950 I going to say? Can I have a quick look at your 00:14:17.950 --> 00:14:21.049 website that you've mentioned? Oh yes, we have 00:14:21.049 --> 00:14:23.289 had... Oh, look at that picture. Isn't that lovely? 00:14:24.330 --> 00:14:27.830 We have had an interview on Chatterbox about 00:14:27.830 --> 00:14:31.330 Rockstars already. I've got a feeling it might 00:14:31.330 --> 00:14:33.370 have been a Christmas one. Oh no, it was during 00:14:33.370 --> 00:14:35.409 the lockdown, wasn't it? Do you remember? That 00:14:35.409 --> 00:14:38.269 was our first Rockstars project was during lockdown, 00:14:38.830 --> 00:14:40.669 yeah. So we'd be there at the beginning then? 00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:43.080 That's good. I like that. That's very good. I 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.519 like that. OK, so yes, I've just, just as you 00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:50.340 said, gone to rockwire .com. I've been looking 00:14:50.340 --> 00:14:53.139 at your home page. And as you said, there's a 00:14:53.139 --> 00:14:56.039 very easy to find your way around. Book a free 00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:59.039 taster up the top. Click on that. Become a member. 00:15:00.860 --> 00:15:03.580 Yes. I don't think there's anything like this 00:15:03.580 --> 00:15:05.539 in our town to be, believe it or not, like a 00:15:05.539 --> 00:15:08.730 choir and. singing. I know there's something 00:15:08.730 --> 00:15:11.350 going on in Kent. I do know that. Yeah, yeah, 00:15:11.350 --> 00:15:14.169 I did hear that from before. Yeah. So it's a 00:15:14.169 --> 00:15:17.690 great, great website. I'm scrolling down because 00:15:17.690 --> 00:15:21.549 what I'm looking for now is all the links that 00:15:21.549 --> 00:15:26.830 we need for social media. I can see first of 00:15:26.830 --> 00:15:30.110 all, the song, people can download that when 00:15:30.110 --> 00:15:34.070 it's out. So Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, 00:15:34.509 --> 00:15:39.139 SoundCloud. And Deezer, that's all good. Never 00:15:39.139 --> 00:15:42.500 heard of Deezer. I have, yes. Seems to be more 00:15:42.500 --> 00:15:46.799 and more popular as things go on. Now, anybody 00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:50.460 wanting to hire the rock choir or members of 00:15:50.460 --> 00:15:52.039 it, because there are different rock choirs, 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:55.600 let's say 400 in the UK is what we... Imagine 00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:57.919 that you get married and you've got the choir 00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:01.159 singing at the reception. Wouldn't that be amazing? 00:16:01.419 --> 00:16:03.279 Have you ever had anything like that being done? 00:16:03.470 --> 00:16:07.149 Yeah, we've sang at a few weddings before. I 00:16:07.149 --> 00:16:10.230 know that there's a leader called Alex who actually 00:16:10.230 --> 00:16:14.470 involved his choirs in his own wedding and there 00:16:14.470 --> 00:16:17.409 was a few conductors there that had to control 00:16:17.409 --> 00:16:21.750 over 300 of them singing at the wedding. So if 00:16:21.750 --> 00:16:24.570 you have an event that you'd like the rock choir 00:16:24.570 --> 00:16:27.659 to perform at then you can just contact us via 00:16:27.659 --> 00:16:30.480 the website and put on all the details there 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.179 and then the local choir leader gets notified 00:16:33.179 --> 00:16:36.179 and then it all goes forward from there. Well 00:16:36.179 --> 00:16:38.559 that'd be amazing wouldn't it? Yeah absolutely. 00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:43.379 Yeah. What other social media is there, please, 00:16:43.620 --> 00:16:46.659 Santa James? I mean, can we find you? And obviously, 00:16:46.779 --> 00:16:49.080 we know on YouTube, it's nice and easy to find 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.299 you. Instagram and Facebook and all those things. 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.679 I mean, it's real, whatever you've got. This 00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:57.899 is your moment.
