Military Wives singing on Strictly
Chris Evans has just announced on his Radio 2 breakfast show that Gareth Malone and the Military Wives are singing on the Strictly Results show on Dec 11.
Anybody here in/know anybody in the choir? |

So pleased for them, and hopefully the Great British Public will buy it and raise lots of money for the charity |

I am wondering if they will simply sing, or will be accompanied by any dancers - and what sort of routine might be suitable. Might lend itself to something of a cross between rhumba and ballet?

Thanks for the news, OP. Looking forward to this.
The series of programmes about Gareth Malone getting the choir started were wonderful.

I hope they're not accompanied by any dancers because this song very emotional so I would just like to watch/listen to the choir and not be distracted by dancers - on this occasion
Ideally I'd love to see Ian and Natalie dance to it, but I doubt that'll happen. Natalie and Brendan possibly. I'm not quite sure which dance could be done to it, it's a bit fast for a Foxtrot, it's in 4 so can't be a Waltz / Viennese Waltz.. maybe a sort of AS?? I guess a Rumba's the more obvious choice, but I think it's a song that would be beautiful for ballroom... |

Brilliant! I too am a Gareth fan.
I do hope the Military Wives song becomes No.1 this Christmas - something meaningful and very very musical instead of an X-factor number would be perfect. And a great tribute to our forces and their families.

Me neither Charmaine, or at least I'll mute it when those caterwauling women appear. My dad was a military man and my mum had to put up with him being away risking his life for his country, but just got on with it. Bleuurrghhh!

I'm looking forward to this. It was a lovely programme. I wouldn't mind them being accompanied by the dancers but unfortunately that means the audience will be joining in and clapping the dancers at every move. I think that's a bit disrespectful to the singer(s) whether it's someone famous or not.

If the producers didn't want the audience to applaud until the end, they could ask them not to, which is what happened last year when Vincent and Flavia danced to "The Soldiers" on Remembrance Sunday.

Oh gosh... I'll need tissues. I can't listen to this song without tears.
I come from a military family (dad - navy, 2 brothers - army, 2 nephews - air force ... one currently serving front line in afgan) and I think the sentiment behind this is wonderful. My hats comes off for all those partners with loved ones serving abroad. I'm not sure I coukd do it tbh. I will be buying it when it comes out for sure |

I hope the Military Wives choir has success with their CD as it is for such a splendid cause. Gareth Malone's programmes about the establishment and training of the choir were a real eye opener to me. I'll look forward to seeing them on Strictly and I'm sure they won't be "caterwauling".
