Kemp and Leshurr will form two bands and mentor them so they are good enough to play at an iconic music festival and fit in with the rest of the musicians. 

The twist is that the musicians forming the band will all be over the age of 65. 

Kemp and Leshurr will search the UK for the best amateur musicians, from singers, to guitarists, to drummers, and will show that talent can shine at any age. 

The mentors will call upon other famous faces to help get advice that will inspire their new recruits.

The series will air on both Saturday and Sunday mornings and will see the father-son duo offer up fun and games with celebrity guests and a little help from “the cloud”. 

The Kemps will offer up their own revelations and some unexpected surprises. 

Martin Kemp commented: “Roman and I are ready and raring to go for this new series and can't wait to wake up with viewers on Saturday, as well as Sunday mornings. We've got brilliant guests lined-up and some fantastic new items, too.”
