IN PICTURES: The Swingtime Starlets roll back the years for Derry seniors

The Swingtime Starlets entertained a packed room of older people at New Gate Arts Centre with all the hits from the 40s, 50s and 60s.

‘Cabaret in the Day’ was the latest event in Féile’s Connect: Interact: Create programme, bringing together people from the Bogside, Bishop Street and Fountain areas.

It was a fantastic afternoon, with people up on their feet dancing to the classics while enjoying a lovely lunch provided by The Tasty Reel.

“I thought it was absolutely brilliant. The harmonies and the singing were fantastic. It was the best two hours I have had in a long time,” said one participant.

Another commented that it “was a lovely way to spend a Monday afternoon and a great way of bringing people from all communities together. We came in here as strangers - we’re leaving as friends.”

‘Cabaret in the Day’ was part of Féile’s Connect: Interact: Create project, supported by The Executive Office’s Central Good Relations Fund.
