THE MASSED VOICES OF INSPIRATION
AND THE ORCHESTRA OF OPERA NORTH PRESENT
I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU
13 July 2014
LEEDS TOWN HALL
MUSIC DIRECTOR: GARY GRIFFITHS
NARRATOR: LIZ GREEN
Something a
little different
After a year celebrating the world of show tunes and
our very successful tour to New York, (where we sang,
yes, show tunes) we fancied a change, so here it is! The
world of television has proved a very fruitful source and
it was very tricky to know what to leave out. In the end
we went for the more quirky material like Family Guy
and The Big Bang Theory, alongside some more familiar
ones, such as Friends and Blackadder.
I think the singers thought that this term would be an
easy one, but it hasn’t turned out that way. These songs
are just as challenging as the big Broadway numbers,
but in a different way. We have even successfully learnt
to sing in Icelandic. I hope you enjoy this concert, with
its happy feel, and leave us with a smile.

About Gary…
I have been singing for as long as I can remember.
Wolverhampton Grammar School was my major
musical influence – School Choir, Choral Society,
Musical Theatre Group, Jazz Band – alongside the
Youth Orchestra and the Concert Band.
‘Shiny Happy People’ by
R.E.M. was the original
choice for the theme song
for Friends until series
producers co-wrote ‘I’ll
Be There For You’ with
American pop band The
Rembrants.
When it came to University it had to be music, and
so to York. Three wonderful years of music making
also included being Chorus Master for York Light
Opera and MD for Pickering Musical Society.
I then became a tenor in the Choir of York Minster
with all that entails; daily services as well as many
world tours, concerts and recordings. After 18 years­,
I left and became part of the creative team behind
the formation of SingLive.
Now, with Inspiration as my sole focus, I really do
have my dream job. Weekly rehearsals and trips
around the country and abroad are a joy.

New York in Spring Time
Inspiration’s 5th anniversary tour
23 – 29 April 2014
It seems as if we’ve been talking about our trip to New
York forever. Now it’s all over we thought you might
like an insight into what was a truly magical event.
On 23 April coaches departed early from Leeds and
Newcastle for our afternoon flights from Heathrow.
What a surprise to walk into departures and find the
Virgin check-in desks displaying ‘Inspiration’ on the
screens. We were off! Eight hours later we were in JFK
airport, through customs and en route to the hotel.
“…the full choir
were singing
their hearts out.”
Day one in New York saw us board our coaches for
the short journey to Central Park and our first singing
experience at the Naumberg Bandshell. How amazed
were we when passers by stopped to listen, held up
their phones and cameras to capture the moment and
applauded with gusto at each song? Later in the week
people stopped us in the streets and at the airport
on departure and said “gee were you guys singing in
Central Park? We were there, you were awesome!”.
Our evening performance on day one was at the
magnificent Cathedral of St John the Divine. From fun in
the sun to formal and respectful in one day – but that’s
what we do best. BBC Radio Leeds’ Liz Green accompanied
us on the trip and hosted this concert for us. We sang
to raise money for the International Rescue Committee
(IRC) and we were delighted that David Miliband, now
Chief Executive of the IRC, agreed to open our concert.
Gary started the music with a beautiful solo voice –
‘Non Nobis Domine’ – how fitting for this wonderful
place. Each voice part joined him until the full choir were
singing their hearts out. Before we knew it the concert
was almost over. Just time for Mr Miliband to tell us a
little about the work of the IRC before the lights dimmed
and we sang ‘Let There Be Peace On Earth’, with each
singer lighting a candle and raising it aloft.
I hope you are keeping up so far – we’re only on day one!
Day two and we’re off to the Statue of Liberty. Seeing
the great lady standing proud, surveying all before her
as we disembarked for our spot performance at Liberty
Flagpole with the Manhattan skyline behind us, was
like no other experience. Singing ‘Anthem’ (‘I cross over
borders…’) and the ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ unaccompanied
was a challenge but one that we rose to with remarkable
ease! More photos, more videos, brilliant!
Now what to do this evening? I know, we’ll go and see
The Lion King on Broadway. Yes, all 200 of us! Singing
our medley from this show would take on a whole new
meaning later in the week.
Day three – what shall we do this morning? Let’s do a
flashmob on the Red Steps in Times Square! How do
you sneak 160 singers on to the steps in voice part ready
to sing ‘Circle Of Life’? I’ve no idea, but we managed
it. Four helpful notes from Gary (whose knees were
shaking) and we were off. Take that NYPD! Our Mark
Deeks did a fabulous job placating security, who were
already alerting control to a ‘code 74’ on the Red Steps!
Rapturous applause, hilarity, yes, we’d done it!
The evening brought us yet another singing experience
in the Merkin Concert Hall at the Kaufman Centre. An
impromptu moment at rehearsal saw Liz put on her tap
shoes and show us how to tap dance on this Broadway
stage! It was a beautiful, intimate, emotional concert
which touched every one of us ‘somewhere deep’.
Day four was another beautiful sunny day with some
welcome free time before lunch at Hard Rock Café in
Times Square. It was lovely to sit with friends, relax,
swap stories and take a few more photographs.
There was more free time in the afternoon before our
final performance of the tour. And this was no ordinary
performance! We were singing in probably one of the
most iconic venues in the world – Carnegie Hall! A brief
rehearsal, into position, introductions of Mark and Andy,
our wonderfully talented duo, and of course our Music
Director Gary and we began our final performance of
‘The Lion King Medley’. We gave it our all!
On the final note, Carnegie Hall erupted. The audience
leapt to their feet, clapping and whooping as only
American audiences can. Who would have thought a
standing ovation in Carnegie Hall? We wanted to stay on
that stage for ever. What a finale to our trip!
It really was the trip of a lifetime. It started with a
“maybe we could take the choir to New York?” type of
conversation. Well, we did it, in style and it was truly
magnificent. What a family holiday!
“The audience
leapt to their
feet, clapping
and whooping as
only American
audiences can.”

JENNY CURTIN
How long have you been singing
and what got you started?
I started singing in a choir about 16 years ago. I was
put off in school by my music teacher who told me I
couldn’t sing and wouldn’t let me join the choir (look at
me now Mrs Chapman!). I went to see my mum perform
with the Northern Music and Theatre Company and that
inspired me to have a go myself.
What made you join Inspiration?
I temporarily moved to Gosport about eight years ago
and when I returned I was looking for a choir to join.
I heard Gary was doing a workshop for Inspiration so
went along and couldn’t wait to join.
Do any of your family sing with Inspiration?
Jenny Curtin is from Leeds.
She is 44 and a part-time
administrator.
She has been in Inspiration
since it began in 2009.
Like me my mum is a second soprano in the Leeds choir
and my sister-in-law Gill sings in the Newcastle choir.
My mother-in-law did sing with Leeds but unfortunately
had it give it up. There is always singing when we have
family get togethers, some of it in harmony!
What kind of music do you most enjoy singing?
There isn’t any one type of music I prefer. I love the
mixes Gary is able to put together, such as Vivaldi’s
‘Gloria’ and the ‘Blackadder Theme’ in the same
concert. Where else would you get that other than
with Inspiration?
How does singing make you feel?
It is a fantastic form of escapism. If you have had a bad
day, it’s great to come along and lose yourself in the
different songs, whether they make you laugh or cry.
You always come out of rehearsal on a high.
If you could sing anywhere in the world
where would it be?
The ‘Muppet Show Theme’
is alleged to be almost
identical to the German
song ‘Ich Brauche Keine
Millionen’ composed for
the musical Hello Janine!
by Peter Kreuder in 1939.
Being a motor racing fan I would love to sing the
National Anthem on the pit straight at Silverstone
before the British Grand Prix.
What’s your favourite highlight
since joining Inspiration?
Not being able to attend any of the fabulous trips
abroad it was great to meet and join with the Newcastle
choir at Ripon racecourse and sing the ‘Hallelujah Chorus’.

John and
Joy Smith
How long have you both been singing
and what got you started?
We’ve both been singing all our lives in church.
John was organist and choirmaster for 46 years at
St Mary’s in Beighton and Joy was in the choir and
music group, did flowers, prayers and fundraising.
Are you involved in music anywhere else?
John sang in Beighton and Dore male voice choirs
and we both sang in a wonderful mixed choir, Double
Octave in Rotherham. Since moving up to Leeds we
have sung in Amici and Joy in St Giles Church Choir as
well as other church choirs wherever John played the
organ. John comes from a family of organists and our
six grandchildren all love music, singing and dancing.
You’ve recently done some fundraising
through the choir – tell us more.
We have always enjoyed fundraising, especially for local
Husband and wife John and
Joy are 76 and 72 respectively.
Originally from Beighton near
Sheffield they now live in
Alwoodley and run a property
holding company.
They joined Inspiration four
years ago when they relocated
to Leeds.
charities, and with fantastic support from Inspiration
members have recently raised over £2,000 for the
Yorkshire Cancer Centre (YCC). John has recently
had daily radiotherapy for prostate cancer and played
the grand piano at St James’, Bexley Wing for seven
weeks during treatment whilst Joy enjoyed talking to
the patients. It was a wonderful way to thank God for
successful treatment and raised more funds for YCC!
What kind of music do you most enjoy singing?
We both love singing all kinds of music from sacred
through to musicals and whilst it’s difficult to decide,
our top three highlights of singing with Inspiration are
singing at the War Memorial in Edinburgh, St James’
Bexley Wing at Christmas and every concert with The
Orchestra of Opera North!
‘What’ll I Do?’ was used as
the theme tune for sitcom
Birds Of A Feather. Initially
the version recorded by
William Atherton for the 1974
film The Great Gatsby was
used; from the third series
onwards it was sung by the
programme’s actresses.
If you could sing anywhere in the world
where would it be?
It would have to be The Royal Albert Hall!
What would you say to any couples
thinking of joining Inspiration together?
Since joining the choir we have enjoyed inspirational
singing with Gary and Andy together with the most
amazing fellowship. To have a shared interest in music
is wonderful for us. It spills over into our daily lives,
helping in the most difficult times, and gives us great
joy. Thank you for the music.
