Ross and Kathy Callaghan provide entertainment for Kapiti Seniors

About Us

Ross and Kathy Callaghan come from Paraparaumu, on the beautiful Kapiti Coast.
Since we retired to Kapiti in 2008 we have provided entertainment for elderly folk in Kapiti retirement villages, rest homes, hospitals and senior citizens associations.
We love bringing joy to other Kapiti Seniors and so do not charge for the entertainment programmes we provide. Some organisations like to express their thanks in a tangible way and this is always much appreciated.

Services
We can provide the following entertainment services:

Singalongs

Ross plays the keyboard (with full rhythm accompaniment) and Kathy leads the singing. Our singalongs have lots of variety with fun songs, stories and interaction so everyone stays fully involved. We normally include an item or two with Kathy singing or Ross playing the clarinet. Sometimes we do themed singalongs like Elvis, the Seekers, or songs from the shows. 

Typically our singalongs last for 1 – 1½  hours. We have our own sound equipment and song books and but prefer to project the words of songs on a big screen TV or data projector and screen.  Click here to see the songs in our Singalong songbook.

 

Travel shows

We have been fortunate to travel widely, visiting many interesting parts of the world. We have produced lots of professional quality videos based on these travels. When we show these videos we typically get feedback about how interesting they are, and how they bring back memories of places people have been or would have liked to go.  Our travel videos are not boring! Typically a travel show last about an hour and includes time for questions and discussion.

We have travel videos for the following places:

UK, Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, Turkey, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Abu Dhabi and Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Hawaii cruise, Alaska cruise, Canadian Rockies; western, eastern, southern and central USA; New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Perth, Cairns, Tasmania, Sydney to Melbourne, Sydney to Brisbane, Rarotonga, Fiji, Pacific Islands cruises, Caribbean cruise, Langkawi, Panglao, Asia cruise including Taiwan, Japan, Korea and China.

Soirees

Our “soirees” are a mixture of our singalongs and travel videos interspersed with stories, games, interesting YouTube clips and lots of fun. Typically a soiree lasts about 2 hours. We use a big screen TV or our own data projector and screen for our soirees.

Christmas carols

Every Christmas we lead singalong carol services in homes and venues throughout the Kapiti Coast. These are a lot of fun, and everyone enjoys the festive spirit. We have our own sound equipment and song books and but prefer to project the words of the carols on a big screen TV or data projector and screen. Click here to see the songs in our carols songbook.

The feedback from the residents was really positive…. they did enjoy it.  I think your point of difference is that you include snippets of interesting info and facts and quiz questions as well as the fantastic music.  Parkwood.

We have lots of people coming in to do singalongs, but you're the best! Our residents love you!   Sevenoaks.
