They have the potential to give pleasure and may help improve social functioning.' - Professor Gill Livingston, University College London; 'Brilliant for people living with dementia.' - Alzheimer's Society; Examples of praise by readers of 'looking back at ... The Beatles': 'Many of the residents at Jim's care home are very much of the 1960s plus era.
