"I told them: Oh, OK, I'll get my neighbour to photograph me walking down the corridor and smashing straight into the wall at the end. Will that do?"
"I never had the option of a conventional career. All doors were shut to me."
Sir Robin Millar built a glittering music career producing and working with major British artists while also living with progressive sight loss. A venue refused to sell him an accessible seat without proof of disability, illustrating persistent ignorance and barriers. Millar chairs the charity Scope and campaigns on disability rights, welfare cuts, and debates around diversity, equity and inclusion. He advocates for the right of disabled people to live the same lives and to contribute meaningfully in workplaces and culture. Millar emphasizes that disability does not preclude positive contribution and calls for practical access and equal opportunity.
