A Family Band

on BBC Two England

The fourth of six programmes about families who make music together.
Presented by Roy Castle and featuring
The Wolffs, from Oxford.
The amazing world of the brass bands is explored in this film: the guide is FRANK WOLFF , who plays in, and organises the City of Oxford Silver Band. He teaches 5-and 6-year-olds how to master the cornet, trombone, tenor horn; and he has encouraged his two daughters to become first division brass players. MARILYN has just graduated from the Royal Academy of Music; ELAINE was Brass Cham pion in the BBC Young Musician of the Year Competition.
The Tricks from Budleigh Salter -ton. Pillars of the local Methodist church, where the TRICKS family has always dominated (and now threatens to monopolise) the choir. Nine brothers and sisters, plus spouses, and six additional cousins, make up this family choir which is filmed in preparations and rehearsals for the Harvest Festival. Reporter JILL PHILLIPS
