Ray Burmiston shot national treasure and national choirmaster, Gareth Malone, for Sunday’s Event magazine.
The idea of the shoot was clearly to cast off Gareth’s twinkly choirboy image and to release his inner Ziggy Stardust. To this end he was pictured in one of Camden Town’s sweatier rock venues and the cover of the magazine promises revelations of what he gets up to on tour. Apparently he drinks white wine and wears a onesie!
But the ever dapper Gareth really cuts it. He looks super sharp in the pictures and the Les Paul really suits him. We especially like the houndstooth check suit!
Gareth Malone’s current TV series The Naked Choir, a competition to find Britain’s best amateur acapella singers, is on Tuesday nights on BBC2
