Fair Close Remini-sing a big hit




Members of Fair Close are turned into Superstars

MEMBERS of Newbury’s Fair Close Centre were turned into superstars last Wednesday when they recorded an album of classic tunes and held a concert for their friends and family.

The project was organised by Remini-sing and headed by Clare Lancaster, who spent the last four weeks with the members rehearsing seven songs, which took them all down memory lane.

They belted out a mixture of war-time hits and legendary pop songs.

The members – now transformed into The Fair Close Superstars – recorded the seven songs, which included classics such as Lambeth Walk, We’ll Meet Again and Big Spender before taking part in a concert held at the Fair Close Centre.

Manager of the centre, Karen Ockwell, said: “It was a brilliant afternoon and all the staff joined in.

“There are a couple of members who struggle with mobility, but they were up and dancing as best they can.”

The Remini-sing project is designed to prompt memories and start conversations.

Ms Ockwell said: “They are still talking about this now.

“Experiences like this stay with them.”

She added that, due to its popularity, they are looking into doing a Christmas Remini-sing event later in the year.
