Val4Gareth Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Nice interview with Gareth in the MKNews, where he again talks about his band http://www.mk-news.co.uk/Lifestyle-and-leisure/Interview-Gareth-Gates-on-Aladdin-at-MK-Theatre-31082011.htm Published: 31/08/2011 11:00 - Updated: 31/08/2011 10:59 Interview: Gareth Gates on Aladdin at MK Theatre As announced exclusively by MK NEWS, pop sensation Gareth Gates, pictured right, will star as Aladdin in this year’s panto at Milton Keynes Theatre. In an interview with this paper, Gareth, a good friend of Gavin and Stacey star Joanna Page who appeared last year in Dick Whittington, said he is looking forward to coming to the city after hearing good things about it from her. He said: “I’ve been to Milton Keynes a few times, the city’s great, but I’ve never performed there though so I’m looking forward to doing that. “I’ve been a prince twice before in panto, I did Snow White in Woking last year, but this is my first time as Aladdin.” Asked if he would ever consider playing a baddie, he replied: “Not now - maybe when I’m a little bit older.” He has recently finished a worldwide and West End tour of Les Miserables, in which he played Marius, and is looking forward to getting back into panto. “Les Mis is very sombre and serious,” he said, “so it’s nice just to have a bit of a laugh and mess around with the cast, instead of making people cry.” Off-stage, Gareth talked about a new band he has formed and which he has started writing an album for, even though they don’t have a name yet. “I’ve been in theatre for a while and during that you miss the record industry side of things, so I’d love to return to that. “I’ve put a band together, and it’s good to get together and jam for a few hours to see what sounds we find.” You can see Gareth Gates, alongside impressionist Paul Burling and other stars yet to be announced, in Aladdin by booking your tickets through the theatre’s box office.

GPG MY IDOL Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Lovely interview thanks Val. Gareth says that haven't got a name for the band yet? So it doesn't look like its going to be Gareth with a Band ... so will Gareth now just be a one of the band members and not Gareth Gates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelda Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 June, he will always be Gareth Gates, but I suppose its only fair to call the band by a name including all of them, if they all equally work on the music. I think he will be the lead singer. And when he will do musicals again, it be Gareth Gates again too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowdrop Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Gareth says that haven't got a name for the band yet? So it doesn't look like its going to be Gareth with a Band ... so will Gareth now just be a one of the band members and not Gareth Gates It seems that way. We've got a discussion going about it here in chat. In some ways it's a bit sad that it isn't going to be just Gareth, but I can see the advantages too.

Guest NicolaJayne Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Thanks for the lovely interview Val. I think its great that Gareth has the band and don't think he needs to be Gareth Gates anymore, but it would be nice as he is the lead singer for him to be Gareth and the -- whatever the name they decide on for his band, sounds much cooler than Gareth Gates. Also hope for a rocky sound, he has gone down so well in the summer gigs where he has had a rockier sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 That's a nice informative interview. Tells of Gareth's wishes to remain recording, so has to be good. “I’ve been a prince twice before in panto, I did Snow White in Woking last year, but this is my first time as Aladdin" Sounds like Gareth is looking forward to this lead role.
