00:08 When I'm doing art, I'm not thinking about dementia, I'm thinking about what I'm doing, I'm thinking about the art.
00:15 I think at the moment in Scotland there is an extraordinary amount of creativity around in the dementia world.
00:23 I mean there are people who are going to sing, there's going to be music, there's going to be poetry, and you name it, it's going to be a circus.
00:29 The festival will include original songs.

01:05 There's lots of little pockets of lovely things happening and this feeling of, yeah, this is really important.

01:18 You know, the lights turn on. They don't see people with dementia, they see actors and singers and musicians.
01:28 Then we'll have achieved what we want to achieve.
