Pixie Lott
Singer Pixie Lott has heard that she may have Italian ancestry from Verona, but instead she discovers ancestors battling poverty in London and three generations of military musicians.

On her dad’s side, Pixie learns of her great-grandfather’s harrowing and surprising experience in the First World War. And wondering if she has any musical genes, Pixie is delighted to discover three generations of military musicians, whose legacy gives her an opportunity to sing with the band of the Household Cavalry.
