Care home residents enjoy a musical tribute to a legend
Residents and staff at Elm Bank care home in Kettering celebrated the life and music of the legend Buddy Holly. Steve Carmel created an afternoon of nostalgia that had all singing and tapping their feet.
Steve Carmel delivered a fantastic performance with not only the one and only number one hit that Buddy Holly had, “That’ll Be the Day” he also shared many interesting facts about the man himself.
Activities Co-ordinator, Tina said: “Steve was brilliant he really took the residents back in time with all the old time Rock ‘n’ Roll favourites. It was great to see how the residents all sang along and reminisced on the 1950’s era. It was such an uplifting afternoon for all.
General Manager, Larisa Bledea, said: “Lots of our residents are big Buddy Holly fans and loved his music. We’ve had a fantastic day here at the home listening to all his hits performed by Steve, the residents truly enjoyed the engaging afternoon.”
Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.
