These 3 songs were inspired by shared memories from retired participants taking part in our Colchester Memory Afternoons project.
Jules and Marina attended Memory Afternoons in Colchester, got to know our participants, became part of the Warm & Toasty Club family and went away to write these specially commissioned songs.
We think they have captured something very lovely with these songs and we feel they really honour our participants and the rich lives they have lived.
All proceeds will go to paying for the manufacturing of the CD's and then to support the work of The Warm and Toasty Club
