Thank you so much for posting this series. Just incredible! I work with military families here in the States and sing in a local choral society, so this is two of my passions colliding. The women here in the States need this too... Thank you for allowing 64,000 other people to see this!
Absolutely beautiful. I am not a Britain brought to tears...I am an American brought to tears. Thank you ladies for sharing your talent and feelings with us
I am married to a Brit Soldier who has had to leave the services because of injury. I thought I would watch this to see what it is all about. It made me happy and sad. What made me happy was that the wives of the soldiers needed to express their feelings. They did it real well. With all the practice and dedication it took to get it done just right was very commendable to say the least. The sad part is that I am an American. We have not done anything like this for our soldiers. It is a sad thing.
This i have watched so many times I have lost count, it is inspiring, moving and emotive. Military wives are referred to in the Army as "Bad and Baggage" maybe now they will be seen as the real asset and support the Soldiers need while they are up the pointy end
I have a big exam tomorrow, but i couldn't stop watching this show til the end! Gareth and the military wives, you're amazing! So inspirational! I would also like to thank all the soldiers who may read this comment. A 20 year old belgian girl :) PS: sorry for my bad grammar, I'm french speaking ;)
Absolutely brilliant performance by the ladies.Difficult for words to convey the sheer magical quality of their effort. It was a wonderful concept to bring those ladies together and for them to generate such a moving performance. Simply grand.
Two weeks ago I wrote on this page and said this was brilliant,well I was WRONG,without a doubt its the most moving and emotional piece I have ever heard at the Festival of Remembrance,I have taken part in that Festival ,we had to march down that central stairway with a spotlight on us and march across that small arena,it was like a thousand miles so for this group of Ladies to go out and sing without breaking down in that Hall was Totally Outstanding,My Respects The Mlitary Wives Choir ROCK.
I love to see someone, in this case Gareth, to live his capacities! I see the authenticity and makes me to have hope for this world! The women make me cry more and more watching this.The third time it brought me back to feelings locked up. Thank you!!
You all are so beautiful!loved this, seen it twice and tears are running down!i hope you all keep singin' and that your family are safe!from a swedish choirsinger
absolutely fantastic, what amazing confidence they all have, i loved every minute of this programme and i cant wait to hear more from these and other military wives choirs!! well done to them all and good luck for the future XXX
Your grammar is very good, it is better than that of many of my countrymen. Doing anything well that is worthwhile is never a bad thing. Thank you for your comments, I thought this was a great series too.
Watched the 3 episodes at once, it was amazing!!! What inspirational women these all are. I cried most of the way through this and will definately be buying it. Well done ladies xxx
The DVD called,THE CHOIR is now on sale with all the episodes of this fantastic Choir and they are bringing out an Album next month called,IN MY DREAMS,so brilliant and really a feel good story that 8 months ago these ladies were just Military Wives,now their voices are heard all over the world.They are truly the voice of Military Wives not only in the UK but All Military wives all over the world who`s husbands and loved ones do a hard,thankless task and putting their lives on the line for us,
The most amazing thing i've watched in a long time. Loved it and thanks for sharing it! My wet eyes will try to get some sleep now. it's 03.19 am and i'm saying good night. Good night! x)
Ladies that was truly Outstanding beyond words,and YOU SAM,Miss Sorry,WOW you have truly come through to absolutely raise that song to the clouds,you are Stellar,All of you are a credit to this country and I will promise to you all I am a fan and will support you always.:))
Incredible performance - you Ladies did Hubby Proud :) I came here via the 2014 performance that I saw on BBC IPlayer after watching the 2014 performance. For sure, if you get the chance to see before it goes from IPlayer, see it, its three songs for 2014, do take the trouble to track it down its another amazing performance by yet another 100 strong group of Military Wives. If you miss the time frame for IPlayer, do search for it - its out there on RUclips. Another stunning performance whilst many of their husbands were in Afghanistan literally as they were singing at the Albert Hall. It doesn't get more poigninent than that ..... Take a bow Ladies, wonderful stuff than had the whole of the Albert Hall on their feet in admiration with a Standing Applause both years :)
omg grown man ex raf i have to watch this vid over n over to remind me that but for the grace of god there go i these ladies are amazing as are their partners/hubbys so proud to be british we need another single/album quick smart
god bless all of them,at the start there was no confidence,no tone & more important things to think about....they did themselves & thier husbands very very proud,well done girls & good luck. X
BRILLIANT Well Done Military Wives Ϡ₡ღ" ☆҉‿❤☆҉‿↗⁀☆҉❤ Women all across the globe can relate to this ... its in our DNA. All credit to Gareth Malone for all his endeavours with his "Choir" show he helps bring real joy to real people from within. Thanks for posting this.
wowwwwwwww this song brought tears to my eyes am from malta and this song brought me memories while the brits lived in malta ,wish could have some info were i could get a cd or any kind well done and well performed
@kromking1 I agree, it feels like we are so distanced from the men and women who fight for us.I read in the news that the administration might not hold a parade for the Iraqi vets just because we are still fighting in Afg.That makes me sad and angry because celebrating the end of one war doesn't harm those fighting in the other.Both groups deserve our thanks and prayers, as do the men and women in the British military,I pray for you all and hope for your safe return to your families.
No dancers, flashing lights, loud music, just a brilliant amateur ladies choir. Make it number 1 this Christmas. Buy the disc It's less than two pounds.. All profit goes to the British Legion or Soldiers, Sailors, Air Force Association.
PROPAGANDA Why are you spamming this comment? It is true. Stop killing our kids, come home and confess to everything you have done. That takes courage, that is bravery.
I do pray for the innocents who have been murdered by terrorists in their own country, as well, as innocents killed unintentionally by NATO forces. Beyond the fact that Taliban was allowing bin Laden and friends a safe haven to plan attacks on the West, the abuse and horror that women suffered and sadly continue to suffer under extremist Islam in Afg. horrified/horrifies me. Puuting an end to that evil should be a bigger priority for NATO.
I'm sure you two never give big companies any profit whatsoever. Why are you watching this enemy propaganda anyway? We are all used by corporations in one way or another, but that does not diminish achievements of these choir in any way.
Fantastic. The true strength of ordinary people who can touch the hearts of millions.
