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
