Description
Gareth Malone is a fellow of the Royal Academy of Music where he studied with Janice Chapman and Jonathan Papp. He was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of East Anglia and Freedom of the City of London in 2010. In 2012 he was made OBE in the Queen's birthday honours for services to music.
He first appeared on TV in the three-part BAFTA award-winning series The Choir for BBC, tackling the task of teaching choral singing to people who have never had the chance, or experience to sing before. Followed by three further series; The Choir: Boys Don’t Sing, The Choir: Unsung Town, and The Choir: Military Wives. Since 2012, he has made two series of Sing While You Work for BBC2, infiltrating the workplace to get large UK companies singing.
Gareth has had three number one records in the UK with the Military Wives Choir and the Gareth Malone All Star Choir for Children in Need. His 2014 series The Big Performance won the Royal Television Society award for best children’s television and Gareth Goes to Glyndebourne won an International Emmy in 2011.
His countrywide tour Sing along a Gareth saw him working alongside Gary Barlow and Lord Lloyd Webber on The Royal Variety show. Most recently, Gareth appeared in Sing For The King: The Search for the Coronation Choir. Where the show followed the nationwide search for a choir to perform for The King and Queen Consort at the Coronation Concert. His tour Sing-a-long-a-Gareth took to the road again in the second half of the year and is back in a new form for 2025.

There are certain areas within the auditorium where the system doesn’t work:- Rows S to Z, seats 1 to 8 (House Right), at the rear of the auditorium. Rows XF to XK Rows O to R, seats 1 to 4 Using the system with a hearing aid Headphones are attached to the receiver and then worn in a similar fashion to a personal stereo. For those customers with hearing aids without a T setting, we suggest using this system with headphones but removing your hearing aid whilst inside the auditorium. The loop should be placed around the customer’s neck and attached to the receiver. The receiver should remain uncovered at all times, in order to pick up the signal.
