Cerys Matthews and Tom Service simulcast

Radio 3's Tom Service and 6 Music's Cerys Matthews join forces for a special simulcast. They are joined by singer and composer Hannah Peel who performs live.

Radio 3's Tom Service and 6Music's Cerys Matthews join forces for a special live show on both 麻豆社 Radio stations. Together, Tom and Cerys invite audience and listeners to join them in the 'plink' test where recognising a song from its first half second not only demonstrates the robustness of musical memory but also can show your age.

Their guest is the singer and composer Hannah Peel, who, when her Gran was diagnosed with dementia, harnessed the power of music to help her - her album "Awake but Always Dreaming" is an exploration of dementia and celebration of their relationship. She talks about her music and performs live.

Plus, in the last of her features on the extraordinary objects on display at Wellcome Collection, Georgia Mann discovers the impact of dementia on creativity as she looks at a moving series of pictures made by someone living with dementia.

Live from Wellcome Collection as part of Why Music? The Key to Memory, a weekend of events, concerts and discussions exploring the implications of music's unique capacity to be remembered.
