Seniors’ Entertainment

Martin has done seniors’ sing-alongs for years, including a long residency at the popular Mary-Lyn’s guest house in Marysville (sadly no longer in existence) and has a huge repertoire of songs from the 1910’s to 50’s  as well as over 60 sing-along books for the audience to join in. (See song list below & complete Song List page for full list of songs)

He has a Masters degree with honours in coaxing perople up to sing with a microphone and putting on a bit of a show for their friends or just to lead the sing-a-long!

He also sings the songs himself with either piano or full keyboard backing and can put on a show incorporating both his singing and audience involvement. Or this can all be simply a part of the entertainment at a wedding or function for mixed ages.
