Gary Barlow is on a mission to record a special song to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. He writes the melody with Lord Lloyd Webber, but he wants performers from around the Commonwealth to play on it. Prince Charles gives Gary some suggestions before he embarks on an extraordinary trip, recording all manner of musicians on their home turfs to make the unique record, Sing. Musicians include a Childrens Choir in Kenya, Rastafarian drummers in Jamaica, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in Australia, pan-pipers in a remote rain-forest village on the Solomon Islands... and Gareth Malone's Military Wives Choir in the UK. Gary also manages to get Prince Harry to make his own musical contribution. A record like this has never been attempted before, and the pressure is on for Gary as he has a Royal Appointment to present it to the Queen herself. [show more]

BBC documentary following the creative journey of Take That singer-songwriter Gary Barlow as he sets about writing and recording the official single for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, 'Sing'. Barlow co-wrote the song with Andrew Lloyd Webber, taking onboard advice from Prince Charles about the Queen's taste in music, and travelled throughout the British Commonwealth to find musicians to contribute to the piece. Prince Harry is one of those to make a brief musical cameo, playing the tambourine, while the song was completed by a contribution from the Military Wives Choir at Abbey Road Studios in London.
