a rock 'n' roll star for 18 months before he was offered a chance to | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
act. The director said, OK, this is your first day, you will not need | :18:47. | :18:56. | |
that. He pointed at the guitar. I was holding onto it for life. The | :18:57. | :18:59. | |

They're officially Britain's best workplace choir. | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
Staff from P Ferries in Dover have won the BBC Two series The Choir ` | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
Sing While You Work, and thhs was Sing While You Work, and thhs was | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
the moment they found out they were the winners. | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
The workplace choir of the year The workplace choir of the xear | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
is... We're joined here in the studio by | :21:07. | :21:23. | |
two members of the P choir, Stacey Young and Nik Wickham. I was holding | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
my breath! How did it feel to find out you were the winners? It is | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
lovely to hear it again and relive that moment. When our name was | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
announced, you do not even know you are doing it, but you are bouncing | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
in the air like a lunatic. The whole thing was a fantastic experhence. | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
When did you start doing it? It was around May, June that we st`rted. | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
Had you sung as a choir before? We were all auditioned. I did not know | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
half of the choir members at all. You have got this lovely trophy you | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
You have got this lovely trophy, you have done a bit of singing before. | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
Not so much for you. Nothing. In the bath, in the bath, IndyCar, nothing | :22:15. | :22:21. | |
serious at all. I have sung on the P ferries, with a live band, | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
before. It is not new to me, but sinking in a choir is very different | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
from singing with a band. You have to listen to each other, blend, it | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
is all about all parts coming together. It is a different | :22:35. | :22:35. | |
experience. You had never stng in together. It is a different | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
experience. You had never sung in a experience. You had never stng in a | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
choir at all? Nothing at all. What did Gareth do to bring it out of | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
you? So many of our choir wdre inexperienced, they would go line by | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
line and teachers by ear. You learn by repetition. I am sure there are | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
by repetition. I am sure thdre are quiet that can see a piece of music | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
and go away, but we did it the hard way. You must be very proud. What do | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
P think of your success? We are staying together, we are 100% still | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
