Music Anywhere

Yesterday we joined in a glorious Around the World festival, hosted by Mencap Cymru in Llanfyllin.

Thanks to funding from Powys Health Charity there was a riot of colour and friends joined in the singing, dancing and celebration of summer!

Ddoe roedd gŵyl O Gwmpas y Byd ogoneddus, a gynhaliwyd gan Mencap Cymru yn Llanfyllin.

Diolch i gyllid gan Elusen Iechyd Powys roedd yna wyllt o liw ac ymunodd ffrindiau yn y canu, y dawnsio a'r dathlu o'r haf!

It’s and we really want to thank everyone who supports us to get live music to anyone, anywhere they need it!

Many of the community groups we play to are volunteer run, so huge thanks to them.

Enjoy a bit of Ginny and John persevering through the rain at Llanbister Show last week!

Music Anywhere and Dementia Matters in Powys collaborated to offer interactive and enthusiastic live music sessions to people living with dementia in Wales. Their sessions were popular – with 10 to 30 participants joining at any time. Supported by volunteers, the musicians engaged those living with dementia in the group - they used percussion, singing as well as dancing.

🗣️They say: ”Whilst most of the people living with dementia are older, the people supporting them are from a wide age range. The impact of the music - the connection and communication it brings - has been significant for them, building memories and sparking them in the person they care for, too!”

Music is a vital part of dementia therapy: it can help people with dementia express their feelings and ideas, help them remember things they thought forgotten, and improve their overall wellbeing.

We love music, that’s pretty obvious, but it’s not just fun, it’s really good for you too! Keep getting involved and singing along, it makes everything better.

Studies show group singing improves mood and cognitive function — what are your favourites to belt out?

And this is why music’s marvellous! Nightingale House Hospice is always a joy to visit, what a fantastic bunch!
