BBC show features singer Katie Melua and Gori Women’s Choir

Georgian singer Katie Melua and the country's celebrated Gori Women's Choir created Christmas mood for households across the United Kingdom (UK) as they performed live on one of the most popular British TV shows last week.

The UK-based Melua and the women's ensemble were guests of the Graham Norton Show, a program broadcast by BBC1 channel, on December 23.

Hosted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award-winning comedian Graham Norton, the program featured the Georgian visitors alongside acclaimed actors Will Smith and Martin Freeman and actresses Naomie Harris and Dame Helen Mirren.

A centrepiece of the TV episode was the performance by Melua and the Gori choir of Little Swallow, a Ukrainian Christmas carol.

The popular singer was then invited to join the program's host and visiting cinema stars for a light-hearted exchange about her new album In Winter and the Georgian ensemble.

Recently the Gori Women's Choir featured on the singer's new album and were also part of the official video for her single Dreams on Fire.

The choir joined Melua in the performances to promote the singer's new album in Georgia before travelling to continue the tour in the UK.

Melua was also nominated for two BRIT Awards in categories for Best Pop Act and Best British Female Solo Artist and won the Pop International Solo prize from German TV award Goldene Kamera.

Most recently, she received the Medal of Honour from the President of Georgia for her share in promoting Georgian culture abroad, with the official award ceremony held at the Tbilisi Opera and Ballet State Theatre last week.
