THE Military Wives Choirs will be heading to Winchester this November as part of their seven-date Home For Christmas Tour.

The Military Wives Choirs of Winchester, Middle Wallop and Matchford, will take to the stage at Winchester Cathedral on Monday November 21.

Other Military Wives Choirs will perform at six other cathedrals across the UK and tickets go on sale on Friday.

The choirs, which boast two UK number one singles as part of their repertoire, 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.

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.

Tickets for the Home for Christmas Tour are priced from £25 and will be available on Friday from ticketmaster.co.uk
