Our Dementia Choir had our concert last night. It was really well attended and a marvellous time was had by all. I’m case anyone wants to dip into it I’ve posted the link on the last post of my old thread. I’m sure my Billy Boy was with me in spirit. ?
Our Dementia Choir with Vicky McClure
17 Oct 2022 - 9:00pm - 10:00pm
BBC 1
SUMMARY
Vicky meets new choir member Steve, who has just been diagnosed with dementia, and catches up with the choir’s youngest singer, Julie, who was diagnosed at 51. She also sets the choir their biggest challenge to date: they are going to sing live on stage with pop superstar Tom Grennan in front of 20,000 people at Nottingham’s Splendour Festival. Vicky is desperate to engage a younger audience in her fight to create awareness around huge issues such as diagnosis waiting times and the lack of information and basic support, spreading the message further than ever before.
