15-Oct-09 Riverside House, Morpeth

Our first visit to this modern residential care home in Morpeth. Val was temping that day for a local firm so had taken her 'jiva' clothes to change into and met Jimmy in the car park at the designated time.

We arrived laden with our guitars and guitar stands to find a a good crowd of women (and only one man!) waiting for us. Like last week at a different care home it was exceptionally warm and we had to wipe brows and remove our gilets early on... thankfully Val had remembered the bottle of water this time!

As usual we played two 30-minute spots with a short break for a gargle and tuning of the guitars.


We sang:
  • Love At The Five & Dime (Nanci Griffith)
  • Two Old Friends (Chris Simpson)
  • Dream On (jiva)
  • Yorkshire Romance (C J Rowe)
  • Different Dreams (jiva)

Then:

  • Back Home To You (Allan Taylor)
  • When (jiva)
  • Passin Thru (Randy Scruggs & Johnny Cash)
  • Some Way Home (jiva)
  • One More Song (jiva)
We had a great time - one of the residents 'danced' in her chair the whole time and loved us! And we got them singing along heartily to 'One More Song' too. Great stuff!
