Kahli, who is renowned for her vintage shows at events, festivals, private parties, dinner parties and classic car shows, decided to visit Mariners’ Park after reading a heart-warming story about the exceptional work done by the care home’s dementia wing. Inspired by the staff’s dedication, she wanted to give something back — using her vintage music to connect with residents through the powerful medium of nostalgia.

“Music has such an amazing ability to reach people — especially those living with dementia,” Kahli said. “If I can bring even a little bit of joy or spark a happy memory through song, that’s the best feeling in the world. When I read about the great work they do there at Mariners’ Park — something clicked and I just had to do it!”

The visit proved to be a resounding success, with residents and staff alike moved by the performance. Many of the home’s residents were visibly touched by the familiar melodies — a testament to the growing recognition of music therapy as a valuable tool for dementia care. One of the gentlemen was agitated and shouting — but as soon as Kahli started performing he became instantly at ease.
According to the NHS, nostalgic music therapy is a powerful approach that uses familiar songs to evoke memories and emotions, providing comfort, reducing anxiety and improving cognitive function. It can also enhance sleep quality and overall wellbeing. When paired with activities such as sensory stimulation or memory boxes, the benefits can be even more profound.

The facility, located on the banks of the Mersey in Egremont, does great work to support elderly residents — with quality care, food and activities.

Buoyed by the success of her visit to Mariners’ Park, Kahli now plans to bring her vintage shows to more care homes and dementia patients across the region. “Seeing the residents’ faces light up was so special,” she said. “It reminded me why I love performing and I can’t wait to do it again. I can’t do it for free every time but I’m going to reach out to other residential homes and offer it at a heavily discounted rate.”
