ACTIVE EDGE
We are a man and wife duo, and have been in the business for 30 years. Weve worked abroad, and still work in clubs, and for HM Forces. Our act consists mainly of 50s 60s and 70s. We enjoy our work, and love to get people clapping along and joining in.
Linda has worked in care homes in the past, and currently is doing a number of courses, in connection with Alzheimers Association, to help, in the care of her own Father, who lives with Alzheimers. Her love, smiles and understanding, come as naturally as her voice!
Linda, recently became a " Dementia Friend " , having completed the day course in Leeds. Prior to this, she did an on line course, with the Alzheimers Society. There were two main reasons for this. One, because her Father lives with Alzheimers, and Two, because most of our afternoon work, in care homes, is working with ladies and gents, with Alzheimers. Linda feels that doing these courses, has given her a much greater understanding of our wonderful new friends... that we have been privileged to meet along the way.
