Gary Barlow: On Her Majesty's Service

---

There's a well known musician here.

That's me in disguise.

Much better shaven.

The difficulty sometimes is digging

out where these characters are

because they're not always

in the main street,

but then you find marvellous

things going on in little corners.

Yeah, well,

we need to travel, clearly.

These instruments are fascinating.

Aren't they wonderful?

Do you see, what IS that?

Actually, you must get these.

It would be really enjoyable

to have something with

these different sounds. I know.

For me, it's about picking

elements of this music,

pulling it out and adding it

to our record. Exactly.

Is it just one single?

It's one single.

But you could use all these people!

We could, actually.

We could make an ensemble,

a three-and-a-half minute ensemble.

Absolutely we could. Fantastic.

It's daunting,

but I like a challenge.

I'm going to go off travelling

and find these amazing musicians.

You're really good to do it.

Thank you, sir. The Queen will be

thrilled you've taken such trouble.

Breakfast Show - good morning!

'The order from the Palace said

"we want you to include

the Commonwealth".

'And so I'm actually going to go

round the world

'recording unique musicians

and adding them to this record,

and the very last thing...'

The Commonwealth is massive.

All right? Like, massive.

I mean, massive massive.

Antigua, Australia, Bahamas,

Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize.

No way on Earth we can get round

all of these countries.

Papua New Guinea, Rwanda, St Kitts

and Nevis. I got married in Nevis.

Without counting every one,

it looks like there's about 50.

The truth is it comes back

to the record.

We've got to remember

that's why we're going.

We're going to give this record

a feel that

the Commonwealth's on there.
