‘Cilla Black’ tribute brings Valentine’s Day to Liverpool care home

Sixties singing legend ‘Cilla Black’ helped the residents of Oak Springs Care Home in Liverpool to celebrate Valentine’s Day yesterday.

Liverpool born Victoria Jones, a Cilla Black Tribute act, visited the home to sing some of Cilla’s iconic hits.

The visit was arranged by Rebecca Reed, activity coordinator at Oak Springs, who said: “Everyone in the home loves Cilla Black and her music has touched a lot of people.

“Some of our residents even remember seeing her perform live and really enjoyed her shows.

“We thought it would make Valentine’s Day extra special for them to invite a Cilla Black Tribute act into the home. Victoria was brilliant. Not only did she sound like Cilla, but her voice and singing was spot on. She wowed us all.

“All our residents put on their best outfits and we filled the room with love and happiness.”

Resident John Hilliard said: “Victoria was a brilliant ‘Cilla Black’ – she was a very good singer and even looked like her.”
