Our Dementia Choir Sings Again with Vicky McClure sees the choir and Vicky take matters into their own hands. And the place to start – making music therapy available to everyone with dementia. With the growing care crisis, and a lack of action from those in charge, Vicky is angry at the current system and wants to do something about it. In the new series, Vicky and her dementia choir are back. Please stream / download this song – tell friends and family about it! Let’s make some noise!!įour years ago, Vicky McClure formed a choir of people living with dementia, scientifically proving the power of music and song to change the lives of those living with the condition. We hope ‘What’s Your Story?’ inspires everyone living with dementia and all who care for them to know that music is there for them, and that music is a powerful tool they can use to support health and wellbeing. All proceeds from single will be donated to Our Dementia Choir. We are so grateful to everyone who has helped make this dream come true for the Choir – Karen and The Idolins, musicians, Rik Simpson, our fabulous musical director Mark De-Lisser, Abbey Road Studios, Decca Records, Music for Dementia, and last but not least our choir members and their carers.

From the response we received, we just knew we had to make history by releasing it as a single. We first performed it in public at Universal Music UK’s headquarters in London in April 2022 for the launch of the Power of Music report, co-written by Music for Dementia and UK Music. T he track features vocals from all 16 of the choir members, is conducted by Mark De-Lisser and produced by Rik Simpson (Coldplay).

This beautiful song, which was written especially for us by Karen Smalley and her band The Idolins, has helped the choir make history, becoming the first-ever dementia choir to record at the world-famous Abbey Road studios. We are beyond thrilled to be releasing our first single ‘What’s Your Story?’
