I listened to this again after a few years and it still makes me cry, I really hope the folks in South Oxhey have a lovely community again, they more than deserve it.
I've never ever felt so uplifted. I'm in New Zealand watching this every week on a Wednesday on UKTV. What fabulous, brave and very talented people you are - and very much envied!
I don't know how Gareth does it??? Where does he find these songs for these choirs that just seem to fit so right? The Unsung town just started here in the States.
I am absolutely thrilled to see Gareth doing the Choir again this season on television. I watched it last year and was "hooked on Gareth and his choirs!" He's remarkable in every way and I wish I could sing in one of his choirs, but alas I live in Canada, not South Oxhey!
i am without doubt his greatest fan ... listen to the harmonies in there he mist have worked his socks off - of camera with them and oh so worh it outstanding!
I think this is one of the best versions of this song I've heard. So much better than the over the top rendition of the girl from x factor. The arrangement was beautifull and the singing was so full of feeling and the harmonies were gorgous. I could listen to it again and again.
Used to live there. Did not recognise a single person! Was great to see all the familiar places on TV though. Even down to the same old couple still running Wimpey. LOL
great choir Gareth just knows what to do to get the best out of everyone. Shall miss the programme well done South oxhey and well done Gareth wish i couls sing in your choir
Gareth is a really inspirational person...he really enjoys music and his passion clearly comes through in the choirs he forms. TBH...im jealous...i wish Gareth would come to my city...i think if we are all honest we would all wish Gareth would come to our cities to start a choir.
Fantastic programme - such a good "feel good" factor. I can't believe I hadn't heard of the choir before seeing them on TV as I live vey near (about a mile away).
This program has been fantastic, thinking about joining my local choir and puttin my singing voice to use as i do nothing with it, very inspirational to see a whole community like this get together under gareths lead and show themselves and everyone else what they have achieved-Well Done SOX!!!!!!
I think this programme is probably the best thing on TV right now. Gareth is amazing. Just when you think there's been a setback, he comes up with a new idea to rekindle the choir's enthusiasm and they repay him by delivering every time. They all deserve to win any awards for which they are legible.
It seems to me that on this show as opposed to all the contemptable others on the beeb currently ,that everyone that takes part is a WINNER! Nobody is a loser.There is a part to play for everyone.Well done Gareth and well done to everyone in South Oxhey!.TOP programme and TOP star Gazza,he just gets the best out of everybody.
i wish i still lived in south oxhey! im so proud that i can say im from there!!!

I think Gareth Malone was in charge of the arrangement, with help from the Choir.
