The Unthanks perform ‘A Dream For You’ to Katie Toner, the woman who inspired the song.
Angeline Morrison wrote the song for Katie as part of 21st Century Folk, Radio 2’s series that sees five people have songs written about their lives. Angeline met Katie to hear what life is like for a neurodivergent person. Katie’s own experiences inspired her to organise inclusive parties and sleepovers, where all children are celebrated.

The song is performed by Rachel Unthank, Becky Unthank and Adrian McNally of The Unthanks. Recorded at Simpson Street Studios in Thropton, Northumberland. Produced by 7digital for the BBC
