Thanks to GM I had the comic relief choir track in my head for an entire week. DP nearly strangled me.

raltheraffe · 22/12/2014 21:56

Of all the celebrities you could rail against OP, I find him an odd choice.

He's talented, personable, does good. Good on him I say. Nobody's forcing you to watch.

manchestermummy my DH is an organist and music director of my church choir.
He sings alto though, which is very manly Grin
He loves classical and choral music and chopin.
He can also play anything by sight.

nickeljrismybabesitter · 22/12/2014 22:07

He's not under 40 though...

As an ex military wife I find the whole thing a load of bullshit! What you see on the tv really is not a reflection of military life for the masses. It is extremely jolly hockey sticks and officers wife's who, undoubtedly still have a lot to put up with, live a very different life to your average squaddie's wife. I've seen these choirs in action and in general your welcome into them seems dependent on your husband's rank. They appear extremely cliquey.....don't suppose that is old Gareth's fault tho!

CatIshoo · 22/12/2014 22:11

There's many many more just waiting for their moment in the spotlight LaQueen, I've spoken to them Grin

He has a choir called Voices. It is made up of people that can sing properly.

ReallyBadParty · 22/12/2014 22:27

YADNBU

WastingMyYoungYears · 22/12/2014 22:28

Sparkling, have you seen the Voices? I'm going to see them next year - I'm so excited Grin!

YABU OP.

londonrach · 22/12/2014 22:29

Boys who can sing was that one of his

PinkOboe · 22/12/2014 22:30

He was very blunt, bordering on rude on strictly it takes two. I've never seem him on anything else but took an instant dislike based on that. So I'd go YANBU

LikeASoulWithoutAMind · 22/12/2014 22:31

To be fair though LaQueen that describes about 99% of reality TV Grin

YABU, op - anyone that makes choral singing popular is fantastic. Gareth is the perfect escape from the X factor, the voice etc
