What a faithful.

We'll unpack betrayals and spill scandalous secrets with celebrity guests, traitors' legends,

and murdered and banished players.

My father was one of six. He was the baby of the family, and they were very poor. They lived in North London. He was born in 1928 and he died in 2001. And he had a keen love of the arts. But there was no question at all of him having extra music tuition at all. There simply wasn't the finance for that. But somehow he did manage to get along to

concerts, not only music but literature, the theatre especially. And I think he loved Beethoven

almost as much, in fact. My name's Matthew Taylor. I'm a composer, and I think he loved Beethoven almost as much, in fact. My name's Matthew Taylor.

I'm a composer, and I lecture and teach mainly in London.

I think I was probably a rather sort of fractious, difficult kid.

In the morning, I was rather recalcitant, rather testy,

and I think it was because of this that music was suggested as a way to try and relax me.

But my poor parents would hear, you know, Mary has a little lamb and Humpty Dumpty, ad nauseam.

And it just got to the stage when my father said, I can't take any more of this.

We've got to think of something else.
