Celebrity singers will be heading to west Wiltshire on Thursday to join Sir Terry Wogan’s fundraising choir to record a Children’s In Need special.
The likes of Lee Mead, star of Joseph and the Technicolour Dreamcoat, and singers Hayley Westenra, Clare Teal and Red Hurley, will perform alongside hundreds of members of Terry’s Togs (Terry’s Old Geezers and Gals) at Longleat Estate, near Warminster.
The song, ‘TOG Chorus Sings the Frog Chorus’, will be recorded as part of a fundraising album raising money for the well-known children’s charity.
Norman Macintosh, who is heading up this musical money spinner with Hellen Bach, said: “We are anticipating over 2000 TOGs from all over the UK and even abroad to join in this mass ‘Frog Chorus’ recording at Longleat.
“It is probably one of our madder ventures and I’m sure the Producer of the CD, Adrian Chivers, is cursing the day Hellen and I came up with the concept of a mass chorus as part of the album.
“We’re hoping that it will be fabulous for BBC Children in Need though which is ultimately what this is all about.”
