Fantastic cross-generational musical collaboration

There is a fantastic cross-generational musical collaboration going on between Morris Croft aged 86 and 34-year-old Stacey Thornhill, both from the Forest of Dean. They were complete strangers prior to a chance encounter in a car showroom where they discovered a shared love of performing and singing. This has led to a firm friendship as well as a fundraising album, What a Wonderful World, which is raising money for the Alzheimer’s Society. The charity is very close to Morris’s heart because of his dearly loved wife Dorothy and her experience of Alzheimer’s. 

The album features nine covers including ‘What a Wonderful World’, ‘I Could Have Danced All Night’ and ‘We’ll Meet Again’, alongside one original song.

Titled Confusion, Maurice based the song on a poem he discovered which he believes perfectly encapsulates Dorothy’s dementia journey.
