As part of our tradition of Community Outreach engagement, an audio programme has been compiled from the reminiscences’ of some of the residents of our local Nursing Homes during the lockdown. Oral tradition is an important source of knowledge and insight to the past. These stories and recollections were recorded by members of the staff. Musical interludes from singers and musicians in the area have been woven through the stories as a memento in these unusual times.
