The Military Wives Choir
In the fourth series of BBC2's The Choir, Gareth Malone formed a choir of military wives while their husbands and partners were deployed on a six-month tour of duty in Afghanistan. Gareth believed music and singing would help the women through a difficult time of worry and separation, and he led them in public performances at Sandhurst Officer Training Academy, at the Homecoming Medals Parade and finally in front of the Queen at the Royal Albert Hall.
Wherever You Are
Wherever You Are is a moving love song written by Royal Wedding composer Paul Mealor for the Military Wives Choir, led by Gareth Malone.
It was compiled from letters between UK servicemen in Afghanistan and their wives and girlfriends and was released as a CD single on 19th December 2011.
The raw emotion of the song touched the hearts of the British public and BBC Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans gave his personal backing to the single. Wherever You Are rose to become the UK's Official Christmas Number 1 of 2011 and proceeds from the sales raised over over £500,000 for The Royal British Legion and the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen Families Association (SSAFA).
Thank you to the British public for supporting this single. Chris Evans and Radio 2 have helped us to showcase the talent and strength of these amazing women, and the support of the British military for the choir has been fantastic.
Gareth Malone, Christmas 2011
