eternal Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Good to see the Gates Academy going forward (when they finally tweet) It looks like the Gates Wilkes disbanded. Such a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Looks like Gareth attended this dance fair last year: http://www.dancetothis.com/media/videos/go/view/podcast_id/1014 (He speaks briefly just near to the end). Wow how amazing a fair is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Not sure whether Gates Wilkes Academy have disbanded completely, but I think one of the academies might be either closed or closing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Not sure whether Gates Wilkes Academy have disbanded completely, but I think one of the academies might be either closed or closing. Sorry when I used the word 'disbanded' I was thinking that the partnership was no longer continuing (that was my thinking because the website no longer exists). I didn't realise one of the academies was having to close. What a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Actually Eternal, I think you are right and its possible the partnership is not continuing as it has been. Noticed on Twitter that both Gareth and Johnny are now promoted separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 It's such a shame Barbirgirl. Gareth must have such a lot on his plate at the moment. The marriage split has impacted on something they seemed to enjoy doing together too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well I wonder when the Twitter page is going to be updated with his new ventures etc. He is so busy I really don't know how he keeps up with it all. Anyway, looking forward to the next chapter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Interesting to see Scott Garnham taught at Gareth's academy in Canterbury this week: Scott Garnham @scottgarnham Had a great evening yesterday teaching at the @Gareth_Gates Academy in Canterbury. We are there every Wednesday night. Come check us out!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khelda Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I had to look up who he is, lol Looks like he was in Les Mis. Its good that Gareth can ask some professional performers to teach at his academy when he cant be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternal Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I thought I saw someone had visited. Great experience for the kids (even though they would probably rather had Harry Styles). When they make it into those type of shows they will realise how lucky they were to have someone give of their time for them. Thks Val. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorksheather Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 This is an article about Gareth's visit and performance at New College yesterday ( Thurs 6th March ) .Where Gareth is opening a new Academy . There is also a link to the Huddersfield Examiner website where you can watch Gareth's performances .It's buffering quite a lot for me, I have tried listenind direct fro the Hudd Examiner site, but it's the same, it gives you a good idea though how well Gareth went down with the Pupils . http://huddnewcoll.ac.uk/2014/03/07/gareth-gates-opens-performing-arts-academy-at-college/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Heather these are absolutely brilliant. I love the dedication to Mushy as he is talking. If you notice Gareth does not take his eyes off him. The performance and that of the boys and girls is hilarious. I think those boys (and girls) will realise it's not as easy as it looks singing(and doing it well)on stage. Have put a direct link to the videos: http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/gareth-gates-meets-educating-yorkshires-6784305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Thanks for that link Chris. I couldn't get it to work for me when I tried from Heather's link, so it was lovely to be able to watch it. Gareth did the one thing that people didn't do for him and wait until Mushy got his words out. I know it must be difficult to wait, but I'm sure its the best thing in the end for the stammerer. Good on you Gareth. And well done Mushy for trying so hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I think Heather did say it was buffering and I couldnt see it properly either. Seems to be ok now. Did you see the performance ones where Gareth gets the students on stage? It's a hoot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val4Gareth Posted March 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Yes, I watched them all. Very enjoyable. Loved the screaming crowd outside too.Those are the kind of crowds he needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorksheather Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I thought it was great to see the great reception Gareth got , and loved the SITS . I thought the write up on The Huddersfield College site was brilliant . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
