On 7 August 2021, Nomads performed for the residents of Edwina Mountbatten House Care Home. Nomads took excerpts from their show ‘The Rock & Roll Years’ and performed those songs to the residents.

The performance took place outside with the residents sitting in their lounge and dining area. Prior to the show there was some concern about the weather, but it certainly would not have stopped the performance going ahead. The rain ceased just before the show started and restarted five minutes after the end of the show.

The residents enjoyed performances of songs such as ‘Rock around the Clock’; ‘The Young Ones’; and ‘Come on Over to my Place’. Many knew the words and were enthusiastically singing along.

Nomads left the residents wanting more and asking for a return visit in the future. We certainly hope to be able to oblige.

After a summer break, Nomads will be performing ‘The Rock & Roll Years’ at other care homes in September.

Nomads will be performing their next show on 22 to 24 July 2021.

Tickets are now available for the Three Musketeers Pantomime.

This is a rare pantomime version of the story by Alexander Dumas.

It is reasonably faithful to the original story with the addition of Dame Dotty – D’Artagnan’s mother who comes along to look after him. The evil Cardinal Richelieu is a classic pantomime baddie, aided by the useless Roquefort and the beautiful but dangerous Lady de Winter.

The Queen may be in trouble. The principal girl, Constance finds herself at the centre of the Cardinal’s evil plan. Will the Musketeers be able to save the day? And who is the mystery boy from the country?
