Markhaven Ambassadors Singers

2013 began with our visit to Markhaven this afternoon to be entertained by The Ambassadors Quartet . The gentlemen , Paul , Ricky , Mike and Dez entertained the residents of Markhaven Facilities for one solid hour of music , dance  and activities taking us down Memory Lane. Their music included popular hits that most of us were familiar with. There was a time when music had lyrics , beautiful musical compositions, melodies and harmony . We sang and hummed tunes of Elvis Presley, Sir Tom Jones , Al Jolsen , Glen Campbell , Neil Diamond , Paul Anka ,  Harry Belafonte ,The Shadows  and even Cubby Checker !

Paul Ip- Guitarist, Singer

Tennesse Waltz

The Ritz

 John Denver's Country Road- Take me Home !

Medley of Caribbean Songs of Harry Belafonte

 Ricky - Man of Action ! Danced, sang and got the residents dancing and entertained. I noticed he was multitasking with the lap top in between to feed the music. Great Job.

 Mike sang with such passion and emotion !

 During the 1960s, The Shadows were backup musicians for British Pop singer Cliff Richard. Paul did a fantastic rendition of Apache- The Shadows' top chart breaker in the 60s. It was wonderful to get our toes tapping to the beat of my favourite rock n' roll music .

 Mike did a fabulous job of performing Sir Tom Jones' Delilah with his prop in his hand .

Glen Campbell's - Rhinestone Cowboy !

Des  had a beautiful voice . He  started and closed the show  for the afternoon.

Gentlemen, thank you ! It was a treat !
