Gareth Gates

Join Gareth as he plays a special acoustic set, of songs old and new and some of his favourites from the last 30 years.

In 2002 Gareth was famously runner up to Will Young in the UK's first Pop Idol. Instead of disappearing into 'Pop Oblivion' he carved out a very successful career for himself, having hits and travelling worldwide.

In the UK alone Gareth sold 3.5 million records, released 3 albums and had 4 UK number 1 singles. He won record of the year in 2002 and with that has the second best selling single of the 'noughties' with Unchained Melody. Gareth was only beaten for best selling single of the decade by his fellow competitor, that year's winner Will Young with the song Evergreen. His CV includes Dancing on ice, West End with Joseph and Les Mis and ITVs Big Renuion.
