I have every day more and more cause to regret that ever my good father suffered music to be my profession. The whole is a trivial and degrading business to any man of spirit or of any abilities
SAMUEL WESLEY
Few families have left such an imprint on English musical and cultural life as the Wesleys. Their legacy is enjoyed whenever a group of worshippers meet to sing one of Charles's hymns, or when a cathedral choir performs one of Samuel Sebastian 's choral masterpieces. Their personalities nalities were as diverse as their music; and life was never straightforward for the eccentric, musical Wesleys. Written and presented by Derek Wilson
Other parts played by BRIAN GEAR and JOHN HARTOCH Music performed by the HIGHBURY SINGERS, with soloists Margaret Thomas and Stephen Foulkes
