An army wife has been invited to sing on stage in Dundee with renowned choir-master Gareth Malone.
Samantha Stevenson has been chosen by the Military Wives Choir patron to sing the number one hit Wherever You Are, at the Caird Hall on June 1.
The concert will be the second time mum-of-two Samantha has teamed up with Malone, having earned a solo spot in the original choir in 2011.
She said she was “flabbergasted” when he phoned her and asked her to sing alongside him on her home soil.
Samantha, 35, who lives in Leuchars but is originally from Perth, said: “I’ve kept in touch with Gareth over the years and he phoned me telling me he was coming to Dundee.
“I said it was fabulous as it’s my neck of the woods and he said I must go and watch the show.
“Then he said they were doing Wherever You Are and I said it was fantastic but it would be weird to see it performed.
“And that’s when he said he would love me to come up and sing with them to do the solo. I was flabbergasted. I’ve not sung that for about six years.
“When he asked, the only thing that came into my head was ‘I’ve got to practise’.
“I’m extremely excited and it’s a wonderful opportunity to have him conduct me again and to sing such a wonderful, emotional song again but in Dundee.”
Samantha is now a member of the Leuchars Military Wives Choir.
