Toe-tapping start to Anzac week

Resident and ‘wannabe DJ’ Roger Meakin was quick to pick up the skills from local DJ Matt Hicks.

Residents at Ultimate Care Cambridge Oakdale rest-home started Anzac week slightly early last Monday with an hour or so of music across the decades.  Local DJ Matt Hicks offered his services for free to bring residents a beat-filled selection that included music from the 40s, 50s and 60s.  It was his first ‘gig’ at a rest-home, and he was delighted with the response – those who couldn’t get up and dance showed their appreciation by clapping and tapping their toes. One of them, Roger Meakin, decided the time was right to learn the art of the DJ and spent most of the time manning the console under Matt’s watchful eye.
