Oops! We are a couple of days late this month but we have a good excuse - we've been super busy, even more so with lots of Halloween events ๐Ÿ‘ป October turned out to be our second busiest month of the year so far, something we are always very grateful for. We also had the pleasure of meeting quite a few new faces and partied with lots of very special familiar ones! We celebrated some amazing people too with not one; not two but three 100th birthday parties - something that is always a privilege to be asked to be part of. Halloween events were spooktacular and we must give a special mention to all of the staff who went above and beyond for their residents over the past week - the decorations; the costumes and the food all looked amazing!

November brings us Bonfire Night, Children In Need and St Andrew's Day but it is also a time for us to remember. We are very proud to be performing a special show on Remembrance Sunday and on Remembrance Day to honour those who lost their lives so that we could have our freedom. We will also be wearing our poppies with pride this month. We've already had the pleasure of meeting some new faces and will be making our way across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire & Lincolnshire throughout the month. We're here, there and everywhere that's for sure!

THANK YOU never seems enough but we know you know just how much we appreciate each and every one of you who continually book us to entertain the VIPs in your care. Here's to Chapter 11 of 2024 - let's make it a great one

As we turn the page to the next chapter of 2024, we hope that August brings bright sunlit skies and nature's warm glow. We are starting August off just as we finished July, being busy bees! We are Cambridge bound today and tomorrow and this weekend sees us entertaining at Anchor - Clayburn Court's Summer Fete and helping to celebrate 40 years of Clovelly House too!

We will both be celebrating our birthdays this month and would love you to come and join us at Hunstanton Ski Cafe and Bar on Sunday 18th August where we will be "Singing On Back The Good Times" for Dan's birthday after celebrating mine the day before :)

Most of all, we hope that August brings you whatever you wish it too and thank you to all of you who have booked us to entertain you in the coming weeks

As we head towards the end of Chapter 7 of 2024, we wanted to take a moment to say โˆ™โˆ™ยทโ–ซโ–ซแต’แดผแต’โ–ซโ‚’โ‚’โ–ซแต’แดผโ“‰โ’ฝโ’ถโ“ƒโ“€ โ“Žโ“„โ“Šแดผแต’โ–ซโ‚’โ‚’โ–ซแต’แดผแต’โ–ซโ–ซยทโˆ™โˆ™ to each & every one of you who has booked us to entertain so far this year. This week alone we have travelled to Over, Wisbech, Downham Market, Soham & Bury St Edmunds and today saw us complete our 220th care setting booking so far this year - 220 - wow!! That's incredible, even if we say so ourselves, and that figure doesn't even include our other singing bookings and the ones we do with our KJ Entertainments hats on too. Who would have thought that our diaries would ever be that full again after all that the pandemic brought!

This year has been busy that's for sure (with plenty more to come too) and we know we say it often, but we are so grateful to be able to do something we love to do and call it our job. We get to meet some of the most amazing people and are honoured to be welcomed with open arms into all of these Homes & Day Centres - it is something we never take for granted and we hope you know just how much joy we get from seeing the smiles on everyone's faces.

To all of the staff, residents, service users, friends & relatives - THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. Being able to entertain these VIPs is a privilege

Over the last few weeks, we've had a couple of requests for some Pink Floyd - one from a gent who said that we probably shouldn't sing some for him because no-one else would like it and more recently from the lovely Nikki at Oak Manor Nursing Home. Of course, we gladly obliged on both occasions and the smiles on everyone's faces, especially those who asked, made our hearts very, very happy

We promised we'd share our surprise today - here's what Dan was up to in readiness for us to celebrate #ChineseNewYear 2024 ๐Ÿงง๐ŸŽ‰

As we are preparing for our last event of 2023, we wanted to take a moment to get our new year wishes in before the madness of the evening takes over but where do we start? We honestly had no idea what 2023 was going to bring after what had gone before but neither of us were quite prepared for what it did bring! At the turn of the year, Dan was still working his "Lockdown Day Job" driving and to all those who worked with us to work around his hours, we cannot thank you enough. It wasn't easy, but we got there and thankfully, with our diary busier than ever, he was able to give that job up at the end of March and since then, our feet have barely touched the ground. Being able to bring a smile to people's faces with the power of music is an amazing thing and we get to do that almost every single day and there will never be enough words to say THANK YOU to each & every one who books us to do just that. We know that we say it very often, but we love what we do and we are very lucky that others can see just how much we love it too. To all of the Care Homes & Centres, Retirement Homes & Complexes, Day Centres, Lunch Clubs, W.I.s, Friendship Clubs, Pubs, Clubs and everyone and everything in-between who have booked us to "Sing On Back The Good Times" during 2023 - THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU - we are honoured, humbled and very, very grateful to each & every one of you. You have certainly kept us busy and as we head into the New Year, many of you are keeping us even busier. To everyone we have met along the way, we wish you all you wish for yourself as 2024 appears. You have touched our lives in ways you may never know and to the families and loved ones of those we have lost this year, we will keep a little piece of them in our hearts always <3 ๐Ÿฅณ Happy New Year ๐Ÿฅฐ

Here's a little snippet of our wonderful Chinese New Year celebrations ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿงง Thank you Golden House, Shanghai Garden - Peterborough & Shanghai Garden - Spalding for having us to entertain everyone again - we had a fabulous time! We'll see you next year for more of the same โค๏ธ

โ˜˜ Happy St Patrick's Day โ˜˜ This time last year we were due to entertain the wonderful Staff & Residents at Ashlynn Grange Care Home in Peterborough but sadly, due to the pandemic taking rapid hold on the UK, our St Patrick's Day celebrations were cancelled. A few weeks prior to the pandemic taking over, KJ had sat having a chat with one very special Resident, a hearty Irish gentleman, who asked us if we could learn a song especially for him. It was hoped that when we returned for the St Patrick's Day party, we would sing it for him and hopefully he would join us too. Sadly, that never happened but we did record a very quick video of us singing the song and sent it over for him. We received such a wonderful message from him and his family and this song will forever hold some very special memories for us ๐Ÿ’š We know you won't be able to get up and have a jig around the room to this one, but we really hope you appreciate the wonderful sentiment of this old Irish folk song โ˜˜ ๐Ÿ’š โ˜˜ In other news - KJ has had her first vaccination; our diary is open and we hope to be "Singing On Back The Good Times" with you all really soon because we sure do miss you! Sending love & best wishes KJ & Dan PRIDE - Singing On Back The Good Times

PRIDE: Singing On Back The Good Times

Formed in 2006, PRIDE consists of KJ & Dan, both on lead and harmony vocals. KJ had been performing as a solo artist for many years prior to this with her tribute to Karen Carpenter show while Dan had kept his voice pretty much hidden with only a privileged few having heard him.

With entertainment firmly in mind, we not only bring our vocals to our show but also a real sense of fun and personality. Performing songs from the 1950s right up to the present day, our show supports plenty of audience interaction and a full dancefloor. PRIDE are suitable for every audience or occasion and once the music starts, it doesn't stop! Our vocal versatility means that we can provide the perfect entertainment for a variety of functions and venues so whether you are looking for a quiet evening of love songs or a mixture of modern day and classic hits, PRIDE are the perfect duo for you. We are constantly learning new material for all our events and also take the time to learn special requests, wherever possible.

We also perform regularly in Care Homes within the East Anglia region and not only entertain the Residents at the Homes we perform in, but interact with them as well. We see first-hand just how rewarding music therapy can be and try to include everyone as much as we can and as much as they are able or want to. We are also very experienced with performing for Dementia and Alzheimerโ€™s Residents and always take our cue from the staff regarding sound levels and safety issues.

We are fully self-contained with an excellent PA and lighting system and can be booked as a stand-alone evening (we will provide background music in-between sets) or as part of a package including other options we have available. We hold Public Liability Insurance and all our equipment meets the necessary safety requirements and is annually PAT tested with copies of our insurance and PAT certificates available on request.
