“I could have danced all night!”

What a lovely time we had last month delivering our concerts for older people’s groups. We visited 8 different carehomes and community centre lunchclubs for older people across Merton, Wandsworth and Croydon. Our fantastic team of Elspeth on piano with Felicity or Claire singing delighted the group with a mixture of opera arias, musical theatre numbers, classical songs and a piano solo – or rather imagining Elspeth being the whole orchestra playing the overture to the Marriage of Figaro! We had such a great time chatting to everyone, hearing their stories and memories, and listening to their great singing along to classics from The Sound of Music and My Fair Lady!

“I just wanted to extend my gratitude and thanks on behalf of the team and our members for the wonderful performance put on by Elspeth and Felicity last Friday. Our members thoroughly enjoyed it and keep asking when they are returning. Elspeth and Felicity couldn’t have been more warm, engaging and entertaining.”

“I just wanted to say how much we all enjoyed the performance on Friday – it was absolutely amazing!’”

‘Thank you so much for organising yesterday’s performance. It was absolutely incredible. We had tears, smiles and sing-a-longs. A highly appreciated afternoon. They have all asked when we can relive it.”

Thank you so much for having us! And for your joyous singing along. We can’t wait to return.

  • The laughs come thick and fast; the score is cleverly conveyed by bassoon, violin and accordion (arranged by bassoonist Leo Geyer); and the singing is glorious.
