Podcast appearances and mentions of Gareth Gates

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 24ú lá de mí an Mhárta, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1987 mharaíodh dhá gharda agus póilín nuair a tharla luíochán I nDoire. I 1995 fuair múinteoirí rogha agus an rogha a bhí ann ná chun éirigh as obair ag aois 55 faoi chiste rialtas de 22 milliún. I 2000 tháinig nuacht iontach chuig an ionad oidhreachta I Ros Cré mar ainmníodh é mar an buaiteoir iomlán den Ghradam Forbairt Turasóireacht do chúram custaiméirí. I 2006 chuaigh Mary Robinson chuig an chontae chun an Comhar Creidmheasa a oscail san Aonach Urmhumhan agus bhí a lán daoine áitiúil ann. Sin Cher le Love Can Build A Bridge – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1995. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1990 tháinig an nuacht amach gur shroich Sineád O'Connor uimhir a haon sna cairteacha sa Bhreatain lena halbam I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got – agus bhí a amhrán Nothing Compares 2 U ar an albam. I 2002 bhris Gareth Gates curiarracht mar gur shroich sé barr na cairteacha sa Bhreatain lena chéad amhrán Unchained Melody. Bhí sé ach 17 bhliain a d'aois ag an am. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Allison Hannigan I Meirceá I 1974 agus rugadh aisteoir Jim Parsons I Meirceá ar an lá seo I 1973 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.

I 2000 bhí géarchéim sa chontae nuair a d'iarr na daoine a raibh ina chónaí sa chontae ar comhairle chontae an Chláir chun a pholasaí cinedheighilt a scrapáil. An pholasaí a bhí ann ná nach raibh daoine nach raibh dúchasach ábalta tí a thógáil sa chontae. I 2017 bhí ach 10 oifig an phoist sa chontae mar dhún a lán acu de bharr nach raibh siad ag déanamh airgid a thuilleadh. Sin Cher le Love Can Build A Bridge – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1995.

PART 2 of a 2-part BEST OF compilation of Karl Pilkington's ROCKBUSTERS (a cheap knockoff of Blockbusters) from the Xfm Ricky Gervais Show with Stephen Merchant. Not only was this one of Karl's longest running features (along with Monkey News), but it was also ⁠voted by fans as his greatest XFM feature of all time⁠. Karl Pilkington gives a cryptic clue (it's usually nonsense) and the initials of a famous band or artist (he sometimes gets the initials wrong), and listeners either call, or as the feature developed (unless they were experiencing technical difficulties), email in their answers. The winner gets an arbitrary assortment of tat, often including a pointless DVD seemingly chosen at random from the bargain bucket. This 2-part BEST OF ROCKBUSTERS Compilation is based on the comprehensive 6-part ROCKBUSTERS compilation of every Rockbuster segment from the Xfm Ricky Gervais Show (released previously). CHAPTERS: Cilla Black, Small Faces, New Order (0:00) Bryan Ferry, Del Amitri, Chris de Burgh (8:02) Tony Bennett, The Darkness, Adam Faith (17:25) Alex Parks, Aztec Camera, Phil Collins (24:45) Gareth Gates, Texas, Delta Goodrem (31:45) Nik Kershaw, Soft Cell, OutKast (36:14) The Divine Comedy, Electric Six, Erasure (42:50) Courtney Love, The Bravery, The Monkees (48:31) Donovan, Yoko Ono, McFly (56:16) Lisa Stansfield, The Buggles, Amy Winehouse (1:03:26)

Pop Idol star Gareth Gates and former Labour politician-turned-TV star, Ed Balls drop by the Access All studio to chat to Emma Tracey about living with a stammer. More than 20 years after he shot to fame on Pop Idol in 2002 Gareth talks about the new musical he is penning which is all about stammering. He has an overt or exteriorised stammer which causes him to get stuck at the start of a word and repeat the initial letter. Former politician, Ed, didn't realise he had a stammer until he was already serving in Gordon Brown's government. He has a covert stammer and describes it as a “block” which means the right words don't always come. He reveals the impact it had on political life when his rivals used it to rock the public's confidence in him and the moment he knew he had to go public. Presenter: Emma Tracey Producer: Alex Collins Editor: Beth Rose Sound: Dave O'Neill and Daniel Gordon

Before ‘The X Factor' and ‘The Voice', there was ‘Pop Idol', the ITV behemoth that spawned Simon Fuller's global mega-hit ‘American Idol'.  Season One climaxed on 9th February, 2002, when Gareth Gates - a 17-year-old former head chorister - and Will Young - a politely-spoken 23-year-old alumnus of Wellington College - slugged it out for the title of Pop Idol champion. Britain was captivated as the public strove to choose their favourite cover version of an unreleased Westlife album track - with over 15 million people tuning in, and 8.7 million casting their votes via telephone. Will emerged as the winner, but perhaps the real winner was the format - which centred the Judges, particularly ‘Nasty' Simon Cowell, in a way that would inspire dozens of talent show successors. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly recall how producer Nigel Lythgoe ramped up the ‘battle' element of the competition with rosettes and battle buses; consider the homophobic coverage of Young's sexuality in the mainstream media; and reveal Rebecca's place in Pop Idol history…  Further Reading: • ‘And your new Pop Idol is... Will' (The Observer, 2002): https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2002/feb/10/bensummerskill.theobserver • ‘Life after Will Young: how talent shows shaped Britain' (The Guardian, 2022): https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/jan/29/life-after-will-young-how-talent-shows-shaped-britain • 'Pop Idol: The Winner is Revealed' (ITV, 2002): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKz-TYXdIQI We'll be back on Monday - unless you join

Rishi Sunak loses his marbles and causes a diplomatic spat in the process (1m18s); Gareth Gates discusses singing, scandal and how his stammer has shaped his life (7m32s); and the nature cure: how time outdoors transforms our memory, imagination and logic (21m06s).

PART 5 (of 6) of Karl Pilkington's ROCKBUSTERS (a cheap knockoff of Blockbusters). Not only was this one of Karl's longest running features (along with Monkey News), but it was also voted by fans as his greatest XFM feature of all time: https://x.com/rskxfm/status/1714711967305269595?s=20. Karl Pilkington gives a cryptic clue (it's usually nonsense) and the initials of a famous band or artist (he sometimes gets the initials wrong), and listeners either call, or as the feature developed (unless they were experiencing technical difficulties), email in their answers. The winner gets an arbitrary assortment of tat, often including a pointless DVD seemingly chosen at random from the bargain bucket. Fans will recall Stephen Merchant announcing such great prizes as Ladder 49 (the mediocre John Travolta film), or Children of the Corn (Peter Horton's in it). Ricky Gervais once mused: "Imagine getting that and going 'Excellent, we can watch this now!'" PART 5 ends with Ricky saying: "None of 'em work. Another pile of cr@%, from the mind of little stupid... what a dopey little Ffffff... The end of Rockbusters, from the stupid little $h!tt^ brain, I'm gonna say it, of Pilkington." **TO BE CONTINUED** Dido (0:00) Missy Elliott & Busta Rhymes (05:39) Dire Straits & Seal (12:06) Phil Collins (17:59) Gareth Gates (29:08) Outkast (33:38) The Divine Comedy (40:13)

When you're speaking to one of the stars of 'The SpongeBob Musical', it's a good time to test out your impression of the world's most famous sponge!

Check out the new review for Mickey-Jo's thoughts on this new production of the show... • About Mickey-Jo: As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field. His YouTube channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MickeyJoTheatre⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ is the largest worldwide in terms of dedicated theatre criticism, where he also share features, news and interviews as well as lifestyle content for over 60,000 subscribers.

Welcome to the last episode of Series 8... but hold on tight! I'm so excited to bring you Christine's story…. I've admired Christine from afar for such a long time.   Christine Talbot always loved books as a child but she had no idea then that this love for storytelling would take her to be one of Yorkshire's most-loved journalists and presenters. Christine has worked in newspapers, the BBC and ITV. She's presented lifestyle shows, was a pioneer presenter on one of the first health and lifestyle digital channels and for twenty years she sat next to Duncan Wood most nights at 6pm for ITV's Calendar programme.  She's covered some of Yorkshire's biggest stories like the Hillsborough Inquiry. She's interviewed Prime Ministers and was the first person to interview  a young Gareth Gates. (I know!)   It would have been so easy for Christine to stay doing the job she'd loved, but deep-down she knew she had another Next Chapter in her. So she took a deep breath, left the job she loved and made the leap to see where it would take her.   Christine is now writing, presenting, supporting mid-life women (yay) and learning more about herself by the day. We speak about all different next chapters – her TV debut (which is the best TV debut story I've ever heard), what it was like when she had to tell her own story following a diagnosis, and how her first job in news was in her airing cupboard.   At a time when I think it's fair to say the media isn't always regarded in the most positive of lights – Christine, I believe, is one of the best journalists we have.   You can find out all about Christine and her next adventures at: https://www.christinetalbot.com/     And just in case you were wondering – you can find me and my books at www.elliebarkerwrites.com (I'd love it if you kept in touch) x

His first job was for a famous TV commercial as a 10 year old which I want him to tell you about as it was something I never knew about him and he grew up with Variety and showbusiness in his bloodline. Ben is always great to catch up with and I'm proud to know him and his family, they are an important family in the history of Entertainment so welcome to Eyes & Teeth the water rats Ben Simmons 

Why don't we take another visit to Planet Porky and see what Mike Parry and Lesley-Ann Jones are up to? They appear to be discussing all the big topics including: the unfeasibly high temperatures sweeping the American West Coast, footballers vs. politicians, Ken Jones' football career, COVID self-testing, appropriate times to wear masks once restrictions are lifted, weddings, why Porky never got to be a best man, stag do culture, Jono Coleman, Tom Cruise's presence at British institutions, fake watches, streaking, Gareth Gates, the benefits of cows milk, eating a lot of salt, and dunking your biscuits. It's the perfect accompaniment for a cup of tea (or something stronger), it's Life on Planet Porky. Follow the show on Twitter: @PlanetPorky or Mike is: @MikeParry8 while you can find Lesley-Ann: @LAJwriter. Or you can email us questions or comments to: planetporkypod@gmail.com. We'd love to hear from you! 

Scott isn't satisfied with Gareth Gates' growth, but Liam is very satisfied with George Michael's dystopian sex nightmare. Elsewhere, Missy Elliott pushes the inner workings of her mind to their limits, Darren Hayes sounds the part but perhaps doesn't look it, and Blue's search for the optimum parking spot might have dirty undertones.

Welcome back to the Horror. Cult. Trash. Other. Podcast! This week we talk about the trashy S Club movie, Seeing Double. During this episode we discuss the really strange adult jokes used throughout, the awful nonsensical musical numbers and plenty of tangents on the band’s history as well as Gareth Gates’ backstory.

It takes a genuinely special kind of person to be able to work in a care home for elderly people. I feel that these people are fortified with some kind of inner-metal. I can say with 100% certainty that I lack this quality.Some people, with all the best intentions, think they may have this quality, so would therefore like to work in one of these care-homes to see if they have what it takes. Sarah Jane Tattersall is one of these people. She, like many millions of us, loved the TV show Scrubs and thought she wanted to be just like the loveable and caring, yet catastrophic lead-character JD. I'll give you one guess as to whether or not this career choice worked out......too late..the answer is no. You'll find out why in:EPISODE 17!We discuss our childhood obsessions this week; a slightly lighter topic than usual. I think we hit the ceiling on the topic of death and terror when we discovered all about Max's Shadow People visitations last week. These topics involve all the usual names:1) Freddie Mercury 2) Michael Jackson3) WWF Wrestling (or WRAAAAAAStling)4) and of course...Gareth Gates.....yep.Then we move on to the story that Sarah's had prepared for us, which I have entitled:Sarah and Maude!Sarah is an extremely funny standup comedian, sketch-comedy artist, and writer. She also owns a production company called Funny Bird Productions.You can check her out on:Instagram:@sarahjtatt@boxofcharmstv@funnybirdprodWebsite:www.funnybirdproductions.co.uk

Deeper Than Music UK Partner Final Cut Film Reviews interviews Ben of UK Boy Band A1About A1:A1 (stylized as a1) are a British boy band that formed in 1998. The original line-up consists of Paul Marazzi, Christian Ingebrigtsen, Mark Read and Ben Adams. Ingebrigtsen is originally from Oslo, Norway, but the other members originate from London.Their debut single, "Be the First to Believe", entered the UK Singles Chart at number six in mid-1999. They achieved chart success in the UK and other parts of the world in the late 1990s and early 2000s, particularly Southeast Asia. In the UK, they scored two number ones and six other top 10 hits, seven of which were written by the band. Adding to this, they also won a BRIT Award for "British Breakthrough Act" in 2001. They were managed by band manager Tim Byrne, who also formed Steps.Marazzi left the band in 2002, citing personal reasons. The three remaining members subsequently decided to split due to exhaustion from being on the road for the best part of four years straight.In December 2009, Ingebrigtsen, Read and Adams reformed a1, without Marazzi, in Norway for a series of concerts at the Christiania Theatre in Oslo.[1] Since their comeback, they have released new singles as well as their fourth and fifth studio albums, Waiting for Daylight, in 2010, and Rediscovered, in 2012.In 2014, a1 appeared on the itv2 documentary The Big Reunion along with other bands such as Eternal, Damage, Girl Thing, 3T and a new band called 5th Story, made up of Dane Bowers (from Another Level), Gareth Gates, Kenzie (from Blazin' Squad), Kavana and Adam Rickitt.In 2017, Marazzi met his former bandmates in Newcastle, after the fifteen years of his absence and he will appear on their 20-year anniversary tour.

Comedian Rosie Jones is pulling a duvet day to chat with Abby Hollick about how she's always been a show off, her love of Gareth Gates and why being disabled is way better when you're on TV. She opens up about how having Cerebral Palsy has often meant she's patronized, why she thought the comedy world wouldn't welcome her and why she doesn't mind representing other young people with disabilities. She admits that she's not actually the funniest person in her family and that her mum said she'd never want to watch her on stage, but ended up watching her with 10,000 other people at Wembley. Presenter and Producer: Abby Hollick Executive Producer: Mike Hally Assistant Producer: Rosie Stopher Composer: Ian Kellett Duvet Days is a Square Dog Media production

GEORGE STILES, músico y ANTHONY DREWE, letrista son un equipo de compositores conocidos como STILES & DREWE que en sus años de estudiantes y tras asistir a una representación de “Sweeney Todd” de Stephen Sondheim, decidieron dedicarse a escribir musicales y en Marzo de 1984 reservaron un teatro para ensayar y estrenar “Tutankamon”, su primer musical que tuvo gran éxito entre sus compañeros que no descartan la idea de llevarlo algún día a Londres. El sagaz productor Cameron Mackintosh entró en sus vidas y les produjo “Just so”, basado en relatos de Ruyard Kipling que estrenaron en el Watermill Theatre y ganó en 1985 el premio Vivian Ellis, representándose en USA y en 2004 en el festival de Chichester. Luego vendría "Honk!", basado en "El patito feo" que ganó el premio Olivier al mejor musical del año, venciendo a “El rey león” y “Mamma mia”. En 1996 fueron requeridos por Cameron Mackintosh para componer canciones para el musical “Mary Poppins”, adaptando además los canciones originales que compusieran los Hermanos Sherman para la película, a la que seguirían “Soho cinders", de la que hemos hablado en el "Cuéntame un musical de este mes y "Betty Blue Eyes”, "La mitad de seis peniques”, con canciones suyas reforzando la partitura original y dos adaptaciones musicales de los clásicos "Viajes con mi tía” y “El viento en los sauces”.

It's not every day that you get the opportunity to sit down with someone who is actually famous. I remember Will Young winning Pop Idol, beating Gareth Gates and then smashing the charts with Evergreen and Leave Right Now. I didn't know that when he reached the highest of highs, when he was famous, when he was rich, when he had a number one album and was winning Brit Awards - underneath it all, he was miserable. In his words; "Oh shit". A hilariously candid interview on his journey touching the extremities of fame, fortune and mental health. Thanks Will, enjoy guys! p.s check out Will's podcast with Chris Sweeney - Homo Sapiens.

"Talk About Pop Music!" What might Spence's beef be with Andy (no puns). This time we look at the cheesy end (no puns) of the pop spectrum which incorporates chat about Adam Rickett (remember him?), Gareth Gates (turns out we've forgotten him), Destiny's Child and the inspiration behind an old sketch found on a cassette tape (remember them?). We get there via Australian Boy Bands, Scandinavian Pop Groups and finally Right Said Fred which brings us bang up to date with a Taylor Swift reference. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/soh/message

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the television star Simon Cowell. Simon Cowell is one of our most successful pop music moguls. He is the mastermind behind more than 100 number one songs in Britain and abroad and Westlife, whom he signed, holds the record for having seven consecutive number one songs in the UK. A lot of his early successes were gimmicky hits - singing wrestlers, the Power Rangers and Teletubbies - but it was first Robson and Jerome and then Westlife who brought him credibility. His tenacity and his ability to spot a seller were already legendary within the music world when he devised a format for a television show that would bring new talent to the fore. Pop Idol, American Idol and now The X Factor launched the careers of Will Young and Gareth Gates among others. They've made Simon Cowell a celebrity too. His shows play to the aspirations of the young, who believe fame and fortune can be theirs. But when their ambitions exceed their talent, he's there to tell them. He's reduced many contestants to tears and been threatened by others but, he says, he's only being cruel to be kind.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs] Favourite track: Mack the Knife by Bobby Darin Book: Hollywood Wives by Jackie Collins Luxury: A mirror
