In the fourth series of BBC2's The Choir, Gareth Malone formed a choir of military wives while their husbands/partners deployed for a 6 month tour of duty in Afghanistan. While the men were away, Gareth believed music and singing would help the women through a difficult time of worry and separation, leading them through public perofrmances in Barnstaple, at Sandhurst Officer Training Academy, at the Homecoming Medals Parade and finally in front of the Queen and Royal family at the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall. Wherever You Are is was released as a CD single on 19th December 2011. BBC Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans has given his personal backing to the push to get Wherever You Are to Number 1 in the Christmas charts.
