Thread Name: nursing home concert
Subject: RE: nursing home concert
Im entertaining a pensioners club to an evening of Irish music and song next Wednesday evening in sunny Shrewsbury (UK). Im taking along shaky eggs and a bodhran, and other percussion, plus a small song book of favourite Irish songs, my guitar voice and concertina. Hopefully two friends are coming too one on melodian the other on fiddle.
Generally its a case of busking, doing requests rather than doing a list a. As NormanD says not expecting that every pensioner wants to sing White Cliffs of Dover. A lot of pensioners were Rock and Roll era teenagers.
