The people living at Winifred Dell Care Home in Brentwood when they heard Cheryl had been booked to provide an afternoon of entertainment!
Residents love live music sessions! It has a much greater impact than listening to music on CDs, as people are able to watch the entertainer, engage with them and sing along to the songs they know.
Cheryl has performed at Winifred Dell before so everyone is familiar with her talent and enjoys the songs she sings.
People eagerly took their seats in the lounge and waited for Cheryl to arrive. They gave her a warm welcome when she stepped into the room and chatted amongst themselves whilst she set up.
Before long, the room was rocking and Cheryl was singing some of the resident's favourite tunes. You could tell everyone was having a great time, as they were singing along and moving to the music from their chairs. Those that were able even got up and danced along with their friends. It was wonderful for the team to see everyone smiling and engaging with Cheryl as she performed.
Some of the music Cheryl played helped to bring back memories from the past, from concerts people had attended to songs that had personal meanings.
It’s safe to say Cheryl kept everyone in good spirits, so the team will be welcoming her back again soon!
