CARE HOMES

LIVE MUSIC

I feel privileged to be able to play for elderly people in care and I provide entertainment to Care Homes in the nearby Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire counties.

 

Usually playing in the mornings or afternoons for an hour, I fit in with the plans of the Care Home Activities Leaders and Co-ordinators for their residents in care. 

Music evokes wonderful feelings and memories and can, for a while, help break down the barriers of even severe cases of dementia as people clap, dance and sing along with the tunes.

I play acoustic guitar and sing songs from the 50's, 60's & 70's along with a few well-chosen older tunes (see selection of Care Home Songs below). I'm always adding "new" songs (to keep me on my toes!). I have a compact amplifier and speaker system for these sessions and can tailor the volume, sound and song choice to suit.

 

I am always happy to discuss any requirements with you so please contact me - ​mobile 07870 616747​,  ​or via this link to my Contact Page
