ItchyBay watch if feeling down and want inspiration

This is filmed in Bishop Auckland, with all the participants who created the work coming from residential units for over 50s in Councty Durham. I hope you enjoy it, as they all worked really really hard and pushed themselves to the limits making this and know they would appreciate any feedback you people have. Myself Anton Hecht bought it all together working with Sue Kane words and Andy Jackson musical composititon and other local artists.

This makes me think, how I appreciate my grandmother. She cannot use her other leg and other hand anymore and sometimes she is waiting for death to come, but for example one time when I was visiting her, she told me the poem which she read last time 80 years ago and she still remebers it! I read her few of poems made by me and she was delighted. We don't notice old people very often, but please! Ask something about their childhood or early dreams.

It's a very sweet vid, I enjoyed it - but Itchy Bay?

what's that named for?

[antnhec]

It's what the game of HopSkotch is called here in the North of England

Excellent- having been brought up in Bishop and now an adut care social worker, doubly excellent.

real inclusion and demonstration of strengths of people.

Where did the song come from?

[antnhec]

thanks for your kind comments, the participants in the units made the song, working with Sue kane on the lyrics and Andy jackson on the tune, and a singign tutor Chatherine Holbrook. Thanks again for your kind comments...

Brilliant. Older folk have so much to offer. In the past they were better valued by family, community; and were respected by children. We can learn so much from their experience, and should do all we can to include them in our activities. Leaving them out is leaving the best ingredient out of the cake of life.

Very creative. I'm curious as to why you seem to use the elderly as a focal point when you do.
