The 100
All Together Now, hosted by comedian Rob Beckett, is back! This new series sees a whole range of exciting performers take to the stage to sing in front of The 100 - a unique panel of music experts and singers from all over the UK.
Published: 27 February 2019
Headed up by Geri, The 100 are made up of performers from across the UK, all with a real mix of music backgrounds and singing credentials. Each act will perform for The 100, willing them to vote with their voices, and stand up and join in. The greater the number that stand up and sing along, the higher the act scores…..
Georg - Vocal Coach
Rob
How excited are you that All Together Now is back?
I couldn’t be happier that All Together Now is back. I love making it so much and there is nothing better than being able to sit down with my wife and kids on a Saturday Night and watch it together as a family.
What standard are the performers this year - is there a good mixture?
The performers were great last series but this series they are even better. It’s an incredible standard.
What song would you sing?
Geri’s version of It’s raining men. I would do it soaking wet and give it all I’ve got. I think it would be such an impressive performance that all of the 100 would be so in awe that they would forget to stand up.
What was it like being re-united with The 100 and being back on that massive set, with all the steps you have to climb?
It’s exhausting! So many steps. The 100 are great. There’s some familiar faces and some superb additions. I don’t know where they find them but they are such characters.
