Gareth Malone

Celebrity genealogy series. Choirmaster Gareth Malone sets out to find out more about how far back his family's passion for music goes.

Choirmaster Gareth Malone's passion for singing is in his blood - his parents met singing in musicals, and Gareth grew up surrounded by music. But he wants to know how far back his 'ta-dah' gene goes and sets off to find out more.

His investigations into his mother's side of the family take him to London's West End, where he finds his great-great-grandfather, a star of musical comedy, performing for the king, George V. But it doesn't stop there - two more generations back and Gareth's journey takes him to the heyday of music hall and a theatre impresario in Dublin.
