GARY BARLOW’S NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM

NEW SUNDAY / ITV / 9PM / ENTERTAINMENT

Gary Barlow has been there, done that and got the BRIT Awards when it comes to playing gigs at iconic music venues across the world, both with boy band Take That and as a solo artist.

So the award-winning singer and songwriter is understandably excited about adding a new backdrop to his list – London’s Natural History Museum – for his brand-new music special on ITV.

Recorded in November, Gary Barlow’s Night at the Museum sees him lay on a spectacular evening of entertainment with a host of his famous friends, including crooner Michael Bublé, popping by.

Gary will also be performing some classic hits plus songs from his new solo album, Music Played by Humans, with the backing of an orchestra.
