I’m in my mid-70’s now and have always loved my music, especially C&W, Folk, 50’s & 60’s, and some Blues, Folk and Irish for good measure – after all I was raised up in Northern Ireland listening to these genre’s!
I have been playing guitar and singing in the pubs and clubs since I was in my teens and as my career of 40 years in sales & marketing progressed, the extra money helped raise my family.
Now in the age of technology and Karaoke, I have found a very satisfying hobby to give something back to my age group. It’s also very therapeutic for those with dementia!
I presently live in sheltered housing, so I have a built-in audience who love the Karaoke, so I want to take it out to the other care homes and sheltered housing complexes.
I’m not in this for the money per se’, as my rates are very affordable and just to cover my expenses in equipment, Insurance, and travelling.
The rates are £15 per hour, so 2x hours would be £30, and 3x hours £45, and so on.
