Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service

Gareth Malone helps to create workplace choirs. He feels the heat as he mentors firefighters, but bells and blue lights disrupt the auditions.

Choirmaster Gareth Malone feels the heat at Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service, as he continues his bid to find the year's best workplace choir.

Bells and blue lights disrupt auditions but when rehearsals finally get underway Gareth tries to give the backroom staff the confidence to stand tall and be heard amidst the firefighters who attack choral singing with all sirens blaring.
