Bringing the Andrews Sisters to Alexandra Mill Care Home
There's something truly special about performing in care homes—the warmth, the memories sparked by familiar melodies, and the joy that music brings to everyone in the room. Our visit to Alexandra Mill Care Home on 7th June 2025 was one of those magical afternoons that reminded us exactly why we do what we do.

Andrews Sisters Favourites Take Centre Stage
We brought along our Andrews Sisters favourites for this special performance, and from the first notes of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," we knew we were in for a wonderful afternoon. The residents' faces lit up with recognition and delight as we launched into those beloved 1940s classics that have stood the test of time.
There's something about the Andrews Sisters' music that transcends generations—those tight harmonies, upbeat rhythms, and feel-good lyrics never fail to get toes tapping and voices joining in.
Dancing, Singing, and Smiles All Round
The atmosphere was absolutely lovely throughout our performance. Staff and residents alike were swept up in the music, with some residents dancing in their seats, others singing along to every word, and everyone beaming from ear to ear.
Moments like these are what make care home performances so rewarding. Watching residents reconnect with songs from their youth, seeing the staff take a moment to enjoy the music alongside those they care for, and feeling the room come alive with shared joy—it's pure magic.
The Power of Music and Memory
Music has an incredible ability to unlock memories, lift spirits, and bring people together. The Andrews Sisters' repertoire, with its nostalgic charm and infectious energy, created the perfect soundtrack for an afternoon of connection and celebration at Alexandra Mill.
