February Music

During February we had visits from Mark Walsh, who plays the Ukulele, and Sandra Grant, who is a saxophonist.  Mark plays a variety of music hall songs. Although many of our residents are of course far too young to know the songs at first hand, they enjoyed Mark's playing and an explanation of the context of the pieces.

Connecting with our ongoing film project, one of the most famous songs from 'Some Like It Hot' is 'Sweet Georgia Brown', and Sandra Grant treated us to a rendition of this.

Sandra plays a cheerful jazzy repertoire, and her friendly engaging manner always lifts spirits as she chases the blues away.

Finally, it would be a long, lonely winter without a visit from Elvis, and he duly made an appearance:

Don't be cruel, to a heart that's true.
