In connection with "The Longest Yarn" exhibition, we are very pleased to host the Military Wives Choir, with a beautiful concert commemorating all those who have served and continue to serve in the Armed Forces.
Military Wives Choirs came to fame through BBC TV star Gareth Malone's hit TV series The Choir. It aimed to help the wives and girlfriends of servicemen deployed to Afghanistan – helping them to express themselves through song. Within a year, the choir was number one on the UK singles chart with the Christmas hit 'Wherever You Are'. A number one album, In My Dreams, followed.
The choir performed at the opening of the Olympic Stadium, performed for the Queen, and scored a second number one album, Sing, with Gary Barlow and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Open, today, to all women whose lives are impacted by their connection with the military, including serving women, veterans, wives, partners, mothers, sisters, daughters and with a thriving network of 1800 members in 70 choirs worldwide, Military Wives Choirs is now on tour, for a rousing, uplifting evening that will inspire and delight.
