Residents at Crandon Springs Care Home in Wells have recently been treated to a series of musical concerts worthy of Hollywood's golden age, with a special nod to the legendary Doris Day.

The musical journey began when The Calamity Janes (named after the role made famous by Doris herself) brought a lively Country & Western morning to the home. Their set list of favourites such as Jolene, Blue Moon, and 9 to 5 had everyone toe-tapping, clapping, singing and sharing fond memories.

Christine, one of the residents, said, "I've had a lovely morning." Lisa reflected, "This brings back memories of my uncle; he always had country and western music playing on the radio." And Bill smiled, "This reminds me of evenings at the social club I used to attend."

But the musical magic didn't stop there. In true Doris Day style, residents were also transported to the silver screen, thanks to a wonderful performance at the care home by Emily from Mini Concerts. Dressed as Doris, Emily charmed everyone with a tribute show featuring timeless favourites from `Que Sera, Sera` to `Sentimental Journey`. The room filled with warmth, nostalgia, and applause as residents swayed and sang along to the hits they knew and loved.

The Doris Day celebrations joined a rich programme of entertainment at Crandon Springs, which this summer has also included war-time sing-alongs with Malcolm at the piano, lively guitar sessions with Damian Cheung, classical recitals, the Shepton Mallet Ukulele Orchestra, and a trip through the 1950s with crooner Danny Jukebox, to name just a few.

Crandon Springs Manager, Meg Cleal, said: "Seeing our home filled with Doris Day classics was a delight. Performances like these don't just entertain, they spark treasured memories, encourage residents to sing and dance, and create special moments to share with family and friends. Music continues to be the soundtrack of community life at Crandon Springs and we're so thankful to all our performers who bring such magic into our home."

Crandon Springs Care Home is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK's largest care providers. The home provides residential and dementia care for up to 64 residents, offering both respite and long-term stays.
