THEY won the hearts of the nation when they were voted Britain’s favourite choir on a reality TV programme.
Now Only Men Aloud have landed their own prime-time series.
And as well as showcasing the musical talents of the Cardiff-based choir, it sounds like it includes plenty of capers too.
“I wanted it to be like The Muppets meets The Monkees,” laughs the choir’s founder and musical director Tim Rhys-Evans.
“There are such personalities in the group that I wanted to show them off. To many people, the boys are Only Men Aloud but I wanted them to have their own identities.”
Filmed during three concerts at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay earlier this year, the eight-part S4C series follows the choir as they perform alongside a number of big names, including Grammy Award-winning soprano Rebecca Evans and international cellist Julian Lloyd Webber.
