Current members of Jukebox Joy would like to foster a larger group of talented musicians who would be willing to participate in this venture, agreeing to play songs of the 1960s and earlier for such groups throughout the Byron Shire. A number have already shown a desire to join us.

We have identified five nursing homes and villages in the Byron Shire and two in Ballina Shire that have expressed interest in being entertained in this way, and we would like to be able to afford to enrich their experience by providing rhythm and percussion instruments for them to play.  It would also be desirable to be able to hand out song sheets with large print lyrics for sing-alongs. With the nine senior's centres expressing an interest in participating in the project, there is a total of  20 hours of potential entertainment to fill each week in Byron Shire homes.

 Why not join the coillective?

If you have a musical talent and have performance skills that are at a professional or advanced amateur level  and you feel you are capable of and interested in entertaining these deserving folks (who tend to be a little forgotten in the rush of contemporary society) - then don't hesitate to email or phone us (see the "contact us" link in the main menu) to discuss how you could join the Jukebox team and make a valuable contribution to the lives of some beautiful elders in your district.

It's a great outlet for your talent , a wonderful way to hone your skills and get great performance experience, while at the same time giving something back to those who have allready made a lifelong contribution of their own to our society and the district,  and really deserve to get something back. Share the Joy! Join in the fun!  Get them singin along!
