Singalong at Flockton Court: Artist Claire Mooney leads residents in song
with Margaret Brown, Geoffrey Lindop, Anne Megson and Frank Whistlecroft
14-JUN-06
Residents of Bolton at Home’s Flockton Court sheltered accommodation in
Horwich have published their own song book after working with local artists
to discuss how music has played an important part in their lives.
Residents formed a ‘story tellers’ group to share their favourite songs,
including those from childhood memories, and this collection has been
captured in the Flockton Court book of song.
Residents celebrated the completion of their book with a party and sing
along. A framed photo of the residents’ ‘story tellers’ group was also
unveiled to mark the occasion.
Flockton Court resident, Annie Megson, said: “We have really enjoyed sharing
our favourite songs with each other, and to bring all these memories
together in our own book is very special.”
Residents have also recently enjoyed glass engraving, tapestry, making their
own music CD, mosaics and silk painting.
