The Songaminute Man

The Songaminute Man aka Teddy Mac is an 80 year old singer with Alzheimer's Disease who went viral worldwide after singing with his son in the car like James Cordon's Carpool Karaoke.

The videos raised over £150,000 in donations for The Alzheimer's Society and Teddy Mac went on to record an album and win various awards such as the Pride of Britain Award; JustGiving Creative Fundraiser of the Year; Dementia Friendly Fundraiser of the Year Award; The Manos Amiga Award in Spain and a Point of Light Award.

His son Simon went on to write the story of The Songaminute Man's life and journey with dementia, published by Harper Collins HQ.

Teddy Mac released his second album "Swing on Jupiter and Mars" in 2021.

    My dad had dementia last 5 years of his life and had a hell of a voice to used to sing this song and the good life by Tony Bennett . He was a bricklayer and I was lucky enough to work with him for a big part of my life and he sung daily as he layed brick after brick it kept him going I lost my dad 2020 to Dementia he was 86 and my mum 2023 due to a fall she was nearly 84 I count myself lucky to have had them in my life that long but miss them both every day you only get one mum and dad cherish them for it doesnt last forever ❤️

    Make time for, and cherish, moments like this with your Parents (and older friends). They can be gone in an instant - and you never quite know when. Just beautiful: made me cry. Bless you both......
