GARETH Malone – the man who got Britain singing – is to appear at Warrington’s Parr Hall on Saturday, November 8 with his show “ Sing-Along-A-Gareth 4: 50 Years of Song”.
After decades spent inspiring choirs in schools, workplaces, communities and on TV, Gareth now invites audiences to join him in a live, immersive celebration of the music that’s shaped his life – and been the soundtrack to so many of ours.
Backed by his stellar live band and singers, as well as local choirs, Gareth, with his infectious energy and joy for music, will lead the audience through a setlist of iconic songs from the ‘60s to today. Full of uplifting pop hits, anthems we all know by heart, and a few personal surprises, Sing-Along-A-Gareth 4: 50 Years of Song is more than just a concert, it’s a shared experience.The show celebrates the simple joy of singing together — voices rising in unison, strangers becoming a chorus, and the electric energy that only live music can spark.
Audiences can expect an uplifting night packed with iconic hits, including Bohemian Rhapsody (Queen), Wake Me Up (Avicii), Feeling Good (made famous by Nina Simone and Michael Bublé), Goldfinger (Shirley Bassey), The Greatest Love of All (Whitney Houston), Single Ladies (Beyoncé), Shake It Off (Taylor Swift), Juice (Lizzo), and many more. The night culminates in a roof-raising super-medley that builds in intensity and joy, with the entire crowd dancing in the aisles.
Gareth said: “I’m thrilled to be hitting the road again with my fourth singalong tour. The audiences have been incredible, and these special evenings are my absolute highlights of the year. I can’t wait to get on stage and celebrate my fiftieth — and fifty incredible songs that are guaranteed to make you sing.”
