Neil Kinnock
Music lover and devoted parent, Nicky Campbell asks politician Neil Kinnock how music has guided and grounded him in the remarkable and mundane moments of family life.
In each episode, Nicky is joined by a high-profile figure from broadcasting, entertainment and public life to share and explore how classical music has soundtracked their worlds as parents, children and caregivers: with a host of arresting, moving and funny stories from both parties along the way.
In this episode, Nicky is in the studio with former Leader of the Labour Party, Lord Neil Kinnock as he reflects on the music that he was introduced to by his mother, his youth spent singing in the Glamorgan Youth Choir and how music was at the very heart of his loving marriage to Baroness Glenys Kinnock. And the pair share stories about the challenges and occasional hilarity of raising children in the public eye.
