Goldies YouTube Sing&Smile sessions

PRESS RELEASE
 
Tuesday 1 September 2020
 
Daytime Sing & Smile sessions for the Golden-Oldies Charity are a big hit with hundreds of older people living across Exeter. Following the enforced closure of all sessions in March the charity introduced twice weekly sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays led by Rachel Parry and Cheryl Davies – two of the Goldies session leaders. 
 
Based on the successful Goldies formula, the online sessions feature the popular memory evoking songs of the 60s and onwards with words on screen and the ability to enjoy at home through the freely accessible YouTube recordings.
 
On Tuesday September 15 afternoon session, led by Rachel, will include an ‘appearance’ by Mark Hansford. Mark is one of the popular leaders of the Goldies sessions across Exeter and he will be sending a personal message to all of the folk who enjoy and participate in his sessions, prior to lockdown.
 
Said Mark;
 
“We are all looking forward to, and hoping that one day soon, our daytime sessions across the area will start again and I know from so many personal messages that songs and smiles are being missed by so many people.
 
“Through the online twice weekly sessions we are trying to bridge that gap and I was delighted to contribute to Rachel’s fun ‘sofa sing’ on Tuesday 15.”
