The Saturday Dads is a poignant reflection on absent fathers and rainy afternoons in the park. The video was filmed and directed by Kitty Owen, aged 7, and Sonny Owen, aged 9.
Jof Owen asked his own children to film and direct the video for The Saturday Dads. As the singer explained, “essentially it’s a song about going to the park with my kids, and I just thought who better to understand and capture what that’s like than them. They came up with all the ideas and locations for it and chose what to film and how. I just gave them a camera and paid for the ice creams. We filmed it over two days, but we only spent a couple of hours each day on it because they got distracted after a while. Sarah Owen-Jones, who made the Jelly And Jam video for us, filmed them filming it, to bring the whole thing together and hopefully make it make sense when you watch it.The video perfectly reflects what our weekends together are like and I don’t think I could have got that from anyone else. My only worry was the unflattering angle that I was always being filmed at. “
The song is taken from Talk About Country, the debut album by Legends Of Country, the English Alt-country band formed by Jof Owen from The Boy Least Likely To. Inspired by a long standing love of country music and memories of growing up watching Pebble Mill and listening to Johnny Cash and George Hamilton IV, their songs combine a classic old country sound with an honest and unmistakeable English pop charm.
