Ouse View home enjoy an amazing live music performance

Residents at Ouse View Care Home in Fulford York enjoyed an afternoon of grins with a live music performance that took place at the home.

Local singer Julie Fox performed her memories in a suitcase show which included songs themed to items e.g. a bucket and spade – I do like to be beside the seaside. She also sung the classic hits including Sweet Caroline, Boom bang a bang and How much is that doggy in the window.

Residents joined in with the singing, and clapped along as the band performed their finale song, We’ll meet again by Vera Lynn. Julie also did a war time sing along section which got everyone singing and clapping. The hospitality team at the home also provided a spread of sweet and savoury treats for residents to enjoy during the show. The residents also enjoyed a glass of wine.

General Manager, Rebekka said, “Our residents and guests had a wonderful afternoon singing along with the wonderful performer. We do our best to provide a wide range of activities and entertainment at Ouse View as part of the lifestyle enrichment programme for residents, and this was one of our favourites!”

Elaine a resident said “I haven’t heard some of these songs in many years. The classics never go out of style!, I love dancing and I used to go every week. Today has been like reliving my youth and I even got to dance with Julie."
