Mosside and Age NI
Title of Work: Are You Dancing?
Arts Care Project Artist: Karen Diamond
Art Form: Music and Singing
The title of the project started life as Mosside Melodies as we talked about music and memories for participants. However, when one person shared how they had been to an exhibition about the showbands in the north coast area this sparked many tales and stories of going to the dances and the memories associated with this.
The group chose the songs they would like to sing, and we have created a booklet with the lyrics, a list of the places they danced and the soaps and perfumes/aftershaves they wore before heading out for the evening to hear the words ‘Are you Dancing’? A double CD recording of the songs has also been created so that the group can continue singing and dancing.
Many thanks to the group and especially Mary the driving force for setting the hall up, making the tea along with the other ladies and the wonderful welcome.
