A Family Band

on BBC Two England

The second of six programmes about families who make music together.
Presented by Roy Castle and featuring
The Owens from North Wales.
Their house is called Hafod-y-Gan (House of Music), and three generations of Owens combine to make a fine family choir which can be heard in the chapel at Pwllglas, in the Fox and Hounds and in the beautiful Clwyd hills. Guiding light behind this close-knit family group is mother (and songwriter) CERI.
The Norrises from Worcester.
Another mother-leader, LAURIE NORRIS , gently encourages her six children to share her pleasure in music-making. Technical skill is not a priority in the Norris band, but enjoyment is. The film includes the first public performance of a composition by the eldest Norris - ROBERT - called ' A country dream'. Reporter JILL PHILLIPS
