A truely inspiring man ....... !!
Luckily for us the world is full ov them .... I used to work with a "Pensioners", and I use the word very loosely, group in Glasgow. The average age was 70+ish yet they would put on 10-15 shows a year in locations such as shopping malls, OAPs homes, hospitals and festivals plus every 3 months they would put on a show for friends and family in their community hall. They would and still do rehearse their shows 2-3 nights a week and although not professionals they aspire to do the best they can to entertain...(and boy do they entertain).. with the shenanagins they get up to they put us "youngsters" to shame. They inspire the community around them and the other members of the group who aren't involved. The Group was renamed several years ago from "Red Road Elderly and Disabled Forum" to "The Red Road Young'uns!" a name which has stuck...I hope in later life I can be as lively and inspirational as these peeps .....
Long live them all.
cheers
