Description: Fifteen-year-old Murdo and his father, Tom, journey from Scotland to north Alabama to visit their America/Scots relatives after the death of his mother. Murdo is an accordion player but has not played since his mother passed. When he meets fellow accordionist Queen Monzee-ay she rekindles his interest in music and invites him to play a gig with her. The music becomes a wedge which drives itself between him and his father. [Synopsis taken from the BBC Programme Index, https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/m0007p9z, last accessed 01/12/21]
