Val4Gareth Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Thanks for finding this out for us Jill. I've not heard the song before, but checked it out on YouTube and I think it will have suited Gareth's voice. Looking forward to watching the program.

GreatGGfan Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I know the Diana Ross version of this song, though there are many others (a YouTube search for it will call up many singers performing it). The DR one is on a "Christmas" album, and while not a Christmas song as such, I suppose it fits in with the religious theme of the show. Gareth will do an excellent job as always I'm sure. It must take him back to his "Choirboy" roots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted September 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 Listened to a version on youtube - I think Gareth will sing it beautifully. Cant wait! Love Jill xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorksheather Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Best check the times of Songs Of Praise in your local areas, as some people have it down as 4.25 pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindajan Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Best check the times of Songs Of Praise in your local areas, as some people have it down as 4.25 pm Clocks go back on Sunday morning, so some internet listings won't show the correct time until your computer has updated. Really looking forward to this - Gareth on TV is always good news. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorksheather Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I rather think that is taken into account when the programme times are given . All the TV mags I have looked at , and internet guides have the time down as 5.25 pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Clocks go back on Sunday morning, so some internet listings won't show the correct time until your computer has updated. Linda That could be the answer actually Linda. I've only looked on my Sky planner which updates automatically overnight Saturday to that may be why mine is showing up at 4.35. I'm going to get a local listing today to see what that says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorksheather Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 In my TV mag, it shows Local Variations , and SKY 971 BBC Scotland is 4.25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val4Gareth Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I think Doris said that was shown on the end of last weeks Songs Of Praise. Thanks for finding it Eternal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 It's a great little snippet, isn't it? Has just been confirmed on Gareth's official site, the time of the showing.Perhaps they didn't want to get us over excited by telling us too soon Am looking forward to it.

Snowdrop Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I almost forgot this! Thankfully the recorder was set and working, so I've just watched. It's about ten minutes into the show - very good Gareth was too. It was something a bit different from him, and although it is a hymn, it is a bit different to a lot of the rest of the programme. Gareth just sang the song, and didn't chat as a lot of the other guests do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowdrop Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I've just realised that it's only just started outside of Scotland. Ooops. I hope other people in Scotland caught it at the earlier time. It's available to watch live on the BBC website now if you missed out. http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcone/watchlive/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khelda Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 He sounded great and looked lovely. Don't know the song at all though. He must have dashed away back to the tour (he was on at the time of recording). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
