'I like women, so why wouldn't I hang out with the girls?'
This sort of charming directness is Malone’s trademark, and it pays dividends. For more than a decade he has been creating, coercing and cajoling choirs up and down the country, sparking a national resurgence in singing. How does he feel about being the ‘UK’s most recognisable choirmaster’?

‘Part of the mission of the show is to persuade people that I’m not just the guy that gets people who’ve never sung before to sing,’ says Malone. ‘After my first tour I had one letter of complaint, saying ‘I was expecting the Military Wives!
