There was something a little different happening in the gardens of Southlands Retirement Apartments on Saturday 22 June.

That was the day of our free garden concert, with 40 singers of the Leeds Irish Choir coming to Southlands to perform for an hour for residents and their friends and family.

The event was a great success, with the Choir performing such hit songs as Celebration and I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For in a reworked choral style.

A massive thank you to the Leeds Irish Choir for bringing their wonderful harmonies to Southlands for the afternoon!

"Just over a year ago we visited Southlands by chance. We were warmly welcomed and shown around several apartments. On seeing one, my reaction was "I could live here", and by the end of that week, we made the decision to buy. We moved in at the end of July 2019 and are certain it was the right decision. Staff are wonderful, unfailingly cheerful, helpful and supportive. We have our independence but also the reassurance of support if needed. "
