Snapshot: A fascinating new project weaves together life experiences, music and reflections from family, carers and friends.
Dr John Parker, a professor of architecture is 90 this year. He worked for the Greater London Council, overseeing the development of the capital, re-designing Piccadilly Circus and Kings Cross and choosing the site of the British Library. He also has a strange talent for predicting things that are about to happen, once catching a lady in church before she knew she was going to fall over.
Siddiqa fled the Partition of India and the Iranian revolution of 1979 and led a long and successful career in medicine. Michelle Qureshi, daughter of care home participant Siddiqa, says: ‘This project really gave my mum a focus and a sense of accomplishment by cementing her life journey in this podcast.’
One of the very first celebrity photographers, Marc’s favourite subject was Marilyn Monroe, who he described as ‘lovely and quite intelligent’. He tells interviewers about taking pictures for Princess Anne and how Tatler magazine commissioned him to take a portrait series of stars with their dogs. Once known as the oldest DJ in London, Jo’s life has been rich in music, dancing and travel. She speaks about how she set up the Original Tea Dance and became a stalwart of Soho’s gay scene. Oral histories like Jo’s provide first-hand evidence of the past and form a key part of our national heritage, the club says.
