Hertford Choir Care Home Video
The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church visited an old people’s care home in Hoddesdon to perform a concert for them on 24th December 2013. Over 40 enthusiastic choral students from Hertford and Barnet spent many hours, often in the evenings practicing the songs, to a high standard.
The group consisted of a senior choir and a junior choir, who toured the home separately, performing in the many day rooms to the residents a wide variety of gospel songs and old favourites. He, Candy Cane Lane, Autumn Leaves and Onward Christian Soldiers, were some of the songs performed.
The harmonious music was greatly appreciated by the elderly residents, who joined in with the rhythm by foot tapping and clapping, and singing along to the music.
They were all presented with a goody gift bag as a present, which they were delighted with.
Comment from the Senior Events organiser of the nursing home was ‘you can see how much they are enjoying it by the look on their faces, it will be so interesting to hear their comments afterwards and over the next few days, this enjoyment will stay with them’.
It became evidently clear the performers enjoyed the event as much as the residents. Their message to the home was ‘We are doing this because we enjoy making people happy by singing to them’
WOW!!!!
that was amazing
probaly the best video and singing and choice of songs as any other of the recordings on this website.
Like the girls hair as well, they all look very very pretty
why does one of the grannies go and hug to of the singers in the middle?????
Hope you do lots more of this singing it’s impressive but why sing I feel so young at a nursing home?????
Yes, that was such a sweet granny! she came and hugged everyone on the front row – saying “I love you, I love you, I love your singing!”
Meanwhile her carer was trying to take her away!
Yes, we all felt very young – but by the looks on their faces you could tell that they really appreciated you coming and cheering up their day – very rewarding 🙂

Good on you all….only one thing I would love to ask . . . smile 🙂 and then some!!! Its like talking on the phone, if you smile while you sing, it comes through in your voice, and makes everyone listening happy too . . . pretty cool tho!
This is awesome. Even the 3 year olds love it. Cheers everyone up, especially when you can’t get out and about for a few weeks.
Wish we could hear all the songs.
Keep it up, looks like all the old, middle aged & young people enjoyed it.
Why just at Christmas? How about at the end of summer term as well?
Those old folks need cheering up all the time!
