Following the resounding success of the 2017 tour BAFTA Winning TV Choirmaster Gareth Malone will appear at the Usher Hall on 31 May.
This limited run of five new dates in Spring 2018 will see TV’s favourite choirmaster truly in his element as he curates an evening of music that matters to him.
Gareth is delighted to welcome back The Swingles, the undisputed rulers of British close Harmony, to present songs you know and love in a way you have never heard them before. Feast your ears on their dazzling vocal pyrotechnics.
Gareth will be joined by some exciting guest choirs and singers along the way, he’ll be showcasing new songs written specially for this tour, alongside well-known classics such as ‘Fields of Gold’, ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ and ‘Superstition’. The evening will include repertoire from his TV series The Choir – songs as sung by the Invictus choir, Military Wives and the ‘Boys Don’t Sing’ episode.
Gareth said: “I can’t wait to get on the road and meet audiences up and down the country once again. This will be an intimate tour of some of my favourite music venues and I’ll be showcasing the songs that really matter to me. There’ll be plenty of chances to singalong as well as opportunities to ask questions. You’ll hear great music and spend an evening celebrating the wonder of the human voice. There’ll be special guests, all sorts of fun, stories and laughter. And singing, definitely lots of singing. Roll on May!”
