During the pandemic, singing was as good as banned, but now the time has come to lift our voices once more as Gareth Malone brings his new tour, Sing-Along-A-Gareth! to venues across the UK this autumn.

For the show on 16 December at Lighthouse, Poole, tickets go on sale online tomorrow (Friday 8 July) at 9am and from 10am in person and on the phone from the ticket office.

Join Gareth for this heart-warming show, together with his band, four stellar singers and a choir, local to each venue on the tour.

Audiences will enjoy an evening of songs that Gareth has sung on TV over the last 15 years, and many of the tracks that were performed by him along with the Great British Home Chorus that saw thousands of people around the country sing with Gareth from their kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms during the pandemic, including: I’m Still Standing – Elton John, Walking On Sunshine – Katrina and the Waves and Stand By Me – Ben E King plus a unique medley of party songs created by Gareth himself.

Playing piano, guitar and bass, Gareth will keep everyone entertained as he creates songs on the spot and helps the audience to write their own songs, discovering some hidden talent along the way. It promises to be a feel-good evening of upbeat fun tracks to sing along to.

Audiences will be able to download the song list in advance to practise. All are welcome to join Gareth in this celebration of community and song.

Gareth Malone said: “I cannot wait to get out on the road and sing with people this autumn. Wherever I go, people are so excited about being able to listen to live music and to enjoy singing once again. This is going to feel like a real party.”
