Season 2
Our Dementia Choir Sings Again
Episodes
Episode 1
It's been four years since Vicky formed her choir of people living with dementia and proved the undeniable power of music to change the lives of those living with the condition. But as she discovers when she catches up with old members Mick and Julie and new members Kev and Leslie, nothing has really changed; there is a lack of support and help to help people being diagnosed. There are growing care issues and music therapy is not available for most people living with the condition.
To raise awareness of these issues, Vicky turns to her choir for help. Together, they decide they're going to do what they do best and sing to get their message across by recording and releasing their own single – a very special song that's been gifted to them by a local Nottingham band.
In the process, they walk in the footsteps of music legends The Beatles and make musical history when then become the first dementia choir to record at the legendary Abbey Road Studios.
Episode 2
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.
