In March 2020 The Golden-Oldies Charity had to close temporarily its 220 daytime FUN 'Goldies' singing sessions across England and Wales. To combat the great loneliness experienced by those isolating at home, we commenced GoldiesLive – fun pre-recorded sing-along sessions from the sofa available free of charge, released every Tuesday and Thursday. Goldies Sing&Smile sessions are now active in communities once again, but you can still join in with over 100 GoldiesLive sessions on our YouTube page, follow this link https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCktq1e5exyOQqhfAfdlburg Or to find out where your local Goldies Sing&Smile session is in your community follow this link for England https://www.golden-oldies.org.uk/where.html and this link for Wales https://www.goldiescymru.org.uk/where.html |

"Duet" CD follows popular Live sessions
"Duet" CD follows popular Live sessions
Wednesday July 6th 2022 - Forced by Covid to cancel all of its daytime FUN Sing&Smile sessions in 2020, the Golden-Oldies Charity took their FUN weekly singalongs online with www.goldieslive.com
‘Sofa-singing’ introduced Wales-based Goldies session leader Cheryl Davies to a weekly audience of older people across the UK.
“Such was the popularity of Cheryl’s singing that the Charity have produced a CD of her performing some of the popular melodies which are such a hit with our older folk,” says Charity Founder Grenville Jones.
Many residential homes and age-support organisations live streamed the twice weekly sessions with Cheryl becoming the popular voice (and face) of ‘Goldies’, as it has become known.
The double-track CD with five popular songs from the 50s will be given to everyone now back attending and enjoying their popular sessions in Church halls, community rooms and Libraries. To read the full media release in Welsh and English Click HERE.
