granddad

Growing up, Liv knew her granddad and multiple siblings had lost their lives early to dementia before she was born, and she was a teenager when she started noticing her mum's out-of-character behaviour.

“Someone will see it and say, ‘That’s my granddad’s car’ and smile.

"It was only when they get cancer in their 40s and 50s, and remember their auntie had cancer, and their granddad."

"My granddad was a train driver," she tells me, adding: "I'm really proud of what we're intending to do."

The new album’s closer, “Remember My Name,” is a brass-band love song “from the perspective of my granddad to my grandmother when she had dementia and he was looking after her,” the singer said.
