Love, Loss and Cake
A cabaret with songs and stories about love, and loss of love (and cake crops up too). Performed by men of a certain age who prize the melodies and the pure poetry of the lyrics of the Gershwins, Mercer and Ellington and of songs sung by Fred Astaire and the like. The songs are interspersed with some stories relating to love, loss of love and, yes, cake. They have a long experience of all three and that gives the show some depth.
It is a gentle, humorous journey through these subjects with, they think, some of the most beautiful and moving lyrics ever written.
Read more about the story behind the show here.

Gies a Smile
Volunteer Centre East Ayrshire invite you to join them as they “remember and smile”.
High Tea will be served and music will play throughout the afternoon which will help place people at ease as the Volunteer Centre in partnership with No One Dies Alone Ayrshire, and Alzheimer’s Scotland bring together people who would normally shy away from discussions around death and dying.
Volunteers and front line care staff have key roles in gathering a wide range of views, comments and thoughts which will then be used to produce a poem and word cloud which will be used to promote and encourage more events like this one
Free event but please request an invitation from annie.brown@eav.org.uk
