CountryDIY, created by Julian Wright of Linwood Apps in Leicester, lets you play a 5-piece string band with one finger. It was always meant to be a fun free app for karaoke lovers. “One of those late-night ideas” says Julian, it helped with the development of more serious apps but now it has found a wonderful new purpose – helping people with dementia.

The national campaign Music For Dementia 2020 has adopted it as one of its digital therapeutic resources. Check it out at https://mfd2020.co.uk/digitalProvider/49

“If this app goes no further it will still have been well worth building. Wonderful!”
