The Military Wives Choirs will be heading to Bradford this November as part of their seven-date cathedrals ‘Home For Christmas’ tour.
The choirs who come from Disforth, Lemming and York will take to the stage at Bradford Cathedral on Friday November 25.
The Military Wives Choirs, which are made up of wives and partners of armed forces personnel and women from within the military community, first shot to fame when they took part in the fourth series of Gareth Malone’s The Choir. They captured the nation’s heart instantly and went on to secure their first UK number one single Wherever You Are.
In 2012 they also performed at the opening of the Olympic Stadium London contributing to the Gary Barlow and Andrew Lloyd Webber track Sing created to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II.
On this tour, they will perform a selection of tracks from their soon-to-be-released new album Home For Christmas as well as from their two UK top ten albums In My Dreams and Stronger Together.
Sue Daniels, Chair of Trustees for the Military Wives Choirs Foundation, added: “This tour provides an exciting opportunity for many of the choirs within our network to perform music that is incredibly meaningful to them. To be able to do that in the lead up to Christmas, and in such extraordinary buildings, will be an absolute pleasure for everyone involved.”
Tickets for the Home for Christmas Tour are priced from £25. They go on sale Friday September 2 and are available from www.ticketmaster.co.uk
