Our musicians have been speaking about some of the most significant moments they have experienced whilst sharing Joy Through Live Music with Music in Hospitals & Care.
Andrew Gordon has been working with us in Scotland since 2016.
“Probably my favourite moment was when I was performing in a dementia care setting and one of the audience was fairly unresponsive. About three songs in you saw a light switch come on, smiles and moving to the music. A simple song can make such a difference to someone’s day.”
