0:01:32 > 0:01:36- And why did I get a disc? - You were with the people.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Because I was in the band with my people. That's right.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44And that's what happens when lots of people like your music.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47You end up with one of these.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Would you like one of these?- Yeah.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52We need to teach you to play the guitar.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- But first, we'd need to work together on a song, wouldn't we?- Yeah.
0:01:56 > 0:02:01- Do you think you could do that?- Yes! - You'd be good at writing a song.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06- You could help me write a song. Would you like that?- Yes!

0:02:17 > 0:02:21we was a member of a well-known band called Love And Money.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24And this is him in the band in this film.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34# Lack of trust, didn't love you too much. #
0:02:34 > 0:02:38So when we were touring, we went all over the world.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41We went to interesting places in America, like New York,
0:02:41 > 0:02:48which is fantastic, then we went to the other coast to a place called LA.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53That's where they make lots and lots of movies in Hollywood.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55LA looks fantastic!
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Matilda and Daddy Douglas have written a song together
0:03:00 > 0:03:06and now Daddy Douglas is going to show Matilda how to play guitar.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- So, will I tell you a wee story about playing the guitar?- Yes.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15Do you know, when I was a wee boy, I got my first guitar.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20It was quite like this except it was a bit smaller, and you know what?
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- Soon as I got home from school every single day, guess what I did?- What?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27I practised. Practised going...

0:03:29 > 0:03:33I practised playing every single day. And do you know what?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- What? - Eventually, I got quite good.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41And I practised and I practised and I got better and better.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46And eventually, I started playing in bands. Does that sound like fun?
0:03:46 > 0:03:51Yeah! And look. Sometimes it'll be this chord here, which is D.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Do you want a wee shot to do it? - Yeah.- OK.

0:05:26 > 0:05:31- Mummy Katie is a singer in a band too.- Here is my mummy.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38A long time ago,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Matilda's mummy and daddy met through their love of music.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46And they ended up playing in the same band. Check this out!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Groovy glasses, Daddy Douglas!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05When we started making music all those years ago,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08it was records people bought, not CDs.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11We had friends who did the same thing,
0:06:11 > 0:06:14and incredibly, many of us became famous.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Bands like The Bluebells, who had hits,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19and Aztec Camera and Del Amitri, were our friends.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Not forgetting Altered Images!
0:06:22 > 0:06:26# Happy, happy birthday in a hot bath
0:06:26 > 0:06:29# To those nice, nice nights. #
0:06:29 > 0:06:32We hung out together and went to parties
0:06:32 > 0:06:35and had a lot of fun together.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40So much talent came out of Scotland back then. We had such a laugh.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Mummy and Daddy are taking Matilda to a very special place.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56A recording studio.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59It's where Daddy Douglas came as a teenager to record
0:06:59 > 0:07:03his very first song with the band he started at school.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07We used to make music down here and we went upstairs and recorded
0:07:07 > 0:07:09and we recorded it into this here.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- How desk work? - How does the desk work?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Well...
0:07:14 > 0:07:17See, if you press this button here up...

0:07:20 > 0:07:23Do you want to do it? There you go then. Slowly.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Right up to the top.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27MUM SINGS

0:07:52 > 0:07:55One, two, three.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00MUM AND MATILDA: # Twinkle, twinkle Little star
0:08:00 > 0:08:07# How I wonder what you are
0:08:07 > 0:08:11# Up above the world so high

0:08:46 > 0:08:50There is one more thing Matilda has to do before her big performance.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53She needs to decide on what to wear.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Matilda?
0:08:54 > 0:08:59- Does Mummy look a wee bit funny? Do I? Do I look quite nice?- Yes.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I'm in very...
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- Fancy clothes.- Very fancy clothes and very sparkly.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08And this is one of the outfits that I wore
0:09:08 > 0:09:11when I was up on the stage singing songs with Daddy
0:09:11 > 0:09:14and the band and making videos.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I wore it cos it's really sparkly
0:09:16 > 0:09:20and everybody can see you and it makes you feel really special.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Do you like dressing up?- Yeah.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- Would you like to try on one of my other outfits?- Yes.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30This is a nice, soft, velvety jacket. Try it on.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- Does it feel good?- Yes.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- What colour's that?- Red. - Do you like red?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Yeah.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Red is quite a good colour for being on stage,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41because it's nice and bright.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Can you sign "red" for everybody?
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- Red. That's good, isn't it? What's this over here?- Dress.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- A nice dress. What colour's this one?- White.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Stand up to show this one because it's long
0:09:54 > 0:09:57and has beautiful straps at the back.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02My mummy wore this in the 1970s when I was a little girl!
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Then I wore it in the 1980s when I was on stage.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Isn't that a lovely one? I think it's a little bit too big for you.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Let's have a look inside your wardrobe and see what we see.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19This is your favourite, isn't it? Why is this your favourite?
