The series that produced the hit single Wherever You Are In a series that became a national phenomenon, Gareth Malone took on the challenge of forming a choir of miIitary wives whiIe their husbands and partners were deployed on a tour of duty in Afghanistan. While the men were away, Gareth believed that music and singing might heIp the women through a difficult time of worry and separation; but the emotional torment of the tour proved chaIIenging for even this experienced choirmaster. The wives feeI they are aII too often forgotten, and Gareth pIans several performances for them with the aim of giving the women a voice. They sing to the IocaI town of BarnstapIe to help them understand their often difficult Iives; at a Commissioning Dinner at the Sandhurst Officer Training Academy in search of a miIitary seal of approvaI; and to their men at their Homecoming Medals Parade when they return from war. FinaIIy, their crowning achievement: the choir perform Wherever You Are , the song based on their letters and Iyrics in front of the Queen and RoyaI famiIy at the Festival of Remembrance at the RoyaI AIbert HaIl. lt is a night no one who witnessed it wiII ever forget.
