About
Eric’s Encore is a dementia inclusive music group. It is an opportunity to get together, play, sing, have fun and share memories through music. Led by Community Musician Gus Harrower, we play through a wide range of popular songs from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s as well as more traditional songs and songs from the stage and screen. We are directed by our community so are keen to ensure that everything we play/sing is from the request of the group. Refreshments are available. This is a free activity.
