CARE HOME RESIDENTS TREATED TO EDINBURGH FRINGE CARES PERFORMANCE

Residents and guests at Queens Manor care home in Barnton enjoyed an afternoon of musical performances as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Cares Fest, now in its fourth year. Classical pianist Matthew Shiel and Fringe artists Busker Dan Sandoval and singer Anna Vanosi performed a selection of classic hits including some old Italian Jazz favourites. The event was opened by the Lord Provost, The Right Honorable Robert Aldridge and was attended by special guests including founder Joe Goldblatt, from the Edinburgh Interfaith Association and his wife.

Residents joined in with the singing and dancing and the hospitality team at the home also provided a spread of sweet and savoury treats for guests to enjoy during the show.
