Certainly brings a tear to the eye...enjoy

You absolutely must see this video. It is taken from a British series where a guy called Gareth Malone takes a group of people and turns them into a choir. This time he's taken a group of military wives whose husbands are all away in Afghanistan and turned them into a choir. Gareth looks about 16yrs old but is actually in his mid-30s and a Choir master for the London Symphony Orchestra, among other things. They wrote a song based on excerpts from letters written by the couples whilst apart and this is the beautiful result. Warning ... it may just bring a tear to your eye.

The single is out in the UK on Monday and thousands have been pre-ordered and all the money raised is going to military charities.

Enjoy!

This record has been out months (before Christmas and went to no.1 in the UK charts). It was mentioned on here and I think posted about Dec.
I would change your news agent.:D

P.S still a nice song though.
