The Choir

Gareth auditions students for the choir and sets out to have them record a CD capable of getting them accepted into the World Choir Games.

Gareth is forced to recruit more male singers, re-audition existing members and raise the level of everyone's performance--all before finding out if they've been invited to compete in China.

The choir grows closer together and former overly-shy students begin to shine. With the potential competition in China looming, the students and Gareth notice just how much their lives have changed for the better.

In 2006, Gareth Malone tried to take a choir to the World Choir Games in China from a school that had never had a choir before. He did it in nine months. This programme catches up with Gareth and former Northolt Phoenix Choir members to find out how their lives have changed since.
