“Telling one’s life story to the accompaniment of favourite pieces of music is a brilliant format. I was a little nervous about the interview process but as well as being soul-searching, it was also reassuring and Damian was so kind. My daughter, Lucy, gave me Back Story as a present and I am eternally grateful to her. I think many of us have regretted not asking parents and grandparents more questions about their lives. This is a lovely way to capture the past for my children, grandchildren and future generations.
Now they will know my story.”
