Gary Barlow: On Her Majesty's Service Page #6

---

Wow, this is great fun!

I want to be in your band!

Yeah, that's why I was asking you

if you'd been in a band.

You need to give...

I'm leaving that band!

Forget that band!

I'm coming in this band.

Time to record the guys

for the Queen.

I record their instruments

one by one.

I add them into the music

on my computer,

working out where they'll fit in.

OK, I think I'm there.

So... I've put you in there.

Like it?

Yeah, very much!

Music doesn't really need words

for you to understand it.

Just si-i-i-i-ing...

It's like a legacy.

Even after we've gone,

it will be a record

that will never be forgotten.

Genuinely, I've met

some special people today

and they've really touched me.

And I feel great.

I feel motivated now

to get on a plane

and finish this record.

Next stop, I'm off to the Caribbean

and to the realm Jamaica,

one of the 16 Commonwealth countries

where the Queen is Head of State.

I've been really looking

forward to coming here

and visiting the birthplace

of so much music.

First time ever in Jamaica.

Never been here before.

It's pretty off the scale,

this place, I've got to be honest.

We've just arrived here

in this market

and already, you know,

the people working in the stalls,

they're dancing.

There's music everywhere.

'Remembering what Prince Charles

told me

'about digging out characters

off the beaten track,

'I'm really keen to explore.

'I'm being led up

to a Rastafarian village

'to meet some drummers in

the Blue Mountains above Kingston.'

Every time I look up

it's getting higher!

Higher and higher!

'I feel like

I'm in the middle of nowhere.

'After a two-hour drive from town,

'and now a 45-minute hike

up this mountain,

'I'm not sure what to expect.'

Is this the start of the village?

Yeah.

Hello, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

He's also a singer.

He sings as well?

A chanter, and play the drums.

But I'm the singer here.

You're going to be!

You're going to be!

Is it finished? Am I finished?

We're going back down!

No, no,

you don't meet the priest yet!

He's the priest of the school now.

Oh, he's the priest?

Nice to meet you.

There's a very nice smell

in the air here.

Everything smells fresh and nice.

I think it has to do with

the altitude. Maybe.

I think we are more than

5,000 feet above sea level here. OK.

How do I make one of these?

I want one.

I am impressed

by his personality, yes.

I see congeniality there

in that person.

I need to try a bit harder.

When I leave today,

I'm going to start.

Oh, it is a pleasure, sir.

Brilliant.

The drumming starts

and it's like nothing

I've ever seen.

Raise the voice.
