“The residents were
clapping, tapping feet, reminiscing. It was a
great morning. We had some tears from one resident
because a song that was played she used to dance
to with her husband. She was touched to hear the
song again”
- The Donnington Nursing Home
“Very upfront friendly
performance. The audience really enjoyed the concert.
Keep it coming!”
- Shannon Clinic, N. Ireland
“The 3 musicians were
very friendly and presented a varied and most
appropriate programme. They communicated exceptionally
well to our mixed audience….all seemed genuinely
uplifted by the end of it”
- Royal British Legion Bennett House, N. Ireland
“The residents have
not stopped talking about them”
- Grove House, Ballynahinch, N. Ireland
“The atmosphere in
the room was one of enjoyment with comments afterwards
like “I could listen to that all day”,
“ I feel so relaxed”, “What
a beautiful way to spend a Sunday morning”.
All residents watched attentively throughout,
humming, clapping singing and a lot of smiles.”
- Loch Cuan Residential Home, N. Ireland
“During, before and
after – the artists took the time to speak
to patients. The music as always was of a high
standard and beautifully presented.”
- Thompson House Hospital, Lisburn, N. Ireland
