Get Ready To Rock The Races With Sensational Singalong At British-Themed Raceday

Nothing celebrates a typical English summer more than a sunny afternoon at the races, traditional fairground attractions and a refreshing glass of something bubbly – topped off with a rousing singalong!

And that’s what racegoers can expect next week as the hugely successful A Very British Raceday returns to picturesque Beverley Racecourse, celebrating all that makes this country great.

The quintessentially British afternoon of racing, on Saturday, June 9, will see Beverley-based Remarkable Rock Choir serenade patriotic racegoers with classic anthems by rock legends such as Queen, The Beatles, Oasis and Status Quo.

In their largest-ever singalong, the 70-strong company of singers will complete the day with a rip-roaring rendition of legendary Queen classic Bohemian Rhapsody and a rocking finale of God Save the Queen.

Remarkable Rock Choir founder Mark Howley said: “We’re really looking forward to performing at A Very British Raceday.

“Our singers will lead the racegoers in a huge singalong – all accompanied by a live band of professional musicians – and we’ll be encouraging everyone to join us in belting out the British rock
classics that we all know and love.

“Our fantastic singers will be wearing patriotic colours and really get into the spirit of the occasion. It promises to be a fantastic end to a perfect day’s racing. So drape yourself in red, white and blue, tune up your vocal chords and dust off your air guitar!”

As in previous years, racegoers and racecourse staff alike will join in with the patriotic spirit and don British-themed outfits and accessories.

Kate McKee, Marketing Manager at Beverley Racecourse, said;

“Everyone loves our Very British Raceday. It’s one of our most popular race meetings of the season and a lovely celebration of the great British summer.

“Many racegoers don their finest red, white and blue outfits and Union Jack accessories and it’s great to see and hear people join in with the singalong.”
