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.
Dan Walsh has been working with us in South England since 2017.
“I was singing in a care home for people living with dementia and had reached the instrumental section of the song. During this I became aware of some humming behind me. I turned round and the humming patient took this as a cue, stood up and unleashed a phenomenal voice almost knocking me to the floor! He sang the song with such amazing passion, emotion and power and the staff and patients were absolutely gobsmacked.”
