Just watched the first part. An amazing piece of TV. I'm still sniffling.

One television programme I would recommend.

Brilliant.

I found out that there is a lady who lives locally who has set up a dementia singing group.

It sounds like a great idea. Prior to seeing this video, I had never considered that it would work.

I saw her in interview about it so had to watch - it was beautiful.

Some wonderful characters.

It was lovely to watch them. It really gave them all a boost. It's wonderful how music can stimulate the brain.

There are, Mamya. The choirmaster is amazing too. Such a lovely man.

Problem is they won't remember where they are or what they are supposed to do next time. Such a shame.

Tilly - it is through choice. I actually won a 55" tv just before Xmas and gave it to my brother from Santa.

It's your choice, Wolf and I respect that. I don't watch much T.V. myself. I prefer to watch bird webcams. :-)

However, this programme sparked my interest and I asked Mr T to download it. I have no idea how to do that myself. :-)

The most wonderful programme, Tilly. Made me quite tearful. Even though the people with dementia will forget the family will have lovely memories. That is a rare blessing when you are caring for someone with this disease.

This brought me to tears last night. The young man/ couple who were getting married, when he literally broke down. Singing stimulates the brain it seems. The lady who played the piano again after 10 years .. ‘because something clicked’

gness

I felt for the young couple, Eleena.....and when the music teacher could play the piano again after ten silent years it was so wonderful. X

It highlighted it’s not confined to old people. The one chap was 31 wasn’t he.
