Care Home
entertainment for care and the community
I have been singing in Care Homes since early 2019 and this part of my business has gone from strength to strength and at the start of 2025 I have now completed over 250 Care Home gigs.
This is so rewarding for me as it has been such a great honour to really make a difference to peoples lives. Some of the responses I have had to my singing sets have been quite remarkable.
What makes me different from many other people doing a similar thing is that I won’t simply stand behind my microphone stand and sing. Nothing giver me greater pleasure than walking around to each and every resident and get a smile from them. My aim is to make everybody who attends my performances feel special.
My set is mainly themed around a “Rat-Pack” theme with many songs from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Bobby Darin e.t.c but I also include many ‘sing-along’ favourites from the likes of Cliff Richard, Elvis Presley, Tom Jones, and Neil Diamond.
What I also try to encourage is before my visit that the staff let me know of any songs that are particularly enjoyed by the residents, and if feasible I will do my best to try and learn these songs to give a more personal service.
It is especially rewarding to sing songs that have a special meaning to residents as I know that this is very much appreciated.
I also perform themed sets for different occasions such as Remembrance Day, Valentines Day, and of course Christmas and these are always very well received.
