A sunny afternoon at Ashmead Care Home

A few weeks ago we joined Ashmead Care Home for a sing a long.

Whilst the carers tapped their feet to Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head and the residents reminisced over The Street Where You Live Carl was assisted in his job of keeping us in tune with the help of a few extra conductors and to ensure we were pitch perfect we found ourselves with some additional choir members.

The afternoon was graced by a particularly beautiful walking stick, in lieu of guitar, accompaniment to Clementine.

The day was topped off with a trip to the Telegraph where we sunned ourselves in the garden in the company of none other than … Idris Elba.

See us in concert – this Sunday 10th May @4pm
