Lancashire retirees enjoy a musical trip down memory lane

The Bluebird Belles – a modern-day version of The Andrews Sisters – delighted residents and guests of a Garstang retirement community when they stopped by for a short performance.

Helping visiting retirees get into the swing of the retirement lifestyle on offer at Stanley Place, the exclusive performance gave guests the opportunity to socialise together and see first-hand why so many retirees are proud to call the development home.

There was a hum of excited chatter as guests enjoyed a glass of fizz while listening to live music from Bluebird Belles in the beautiful communal lounge and landscaped gardens.

Louise Flynn, Divisional Marketing Manager for McCarthy Stone, said: “The event­ was a great success, and we were thrilled to welcome retirees from across Garstang to see the Bluebird Belles exclusive performance.
