Well, I haven't looked into this type of booking here in Australia, so I'm probably talking in ignorance, but would I be right in saying this seems to be an American (and perhaps European) thing?

Very interesting.

I see nothing wrong in doing this type of gig, and I imagine the audiences are (usually) very appreciative.


Please understand, we have plenty of activities for older clientèle in the Retirement Villages over here (even I know that!) but it's my understanding there isn't a specific Entertainers "circuit" (a la OMB etc) like there seems to be in the U.S. (for a start) and this certainly isn't the first time I've read about this - it seems to be a well established "culture" if you will.

Anyone on the Boards (local to me) do this type of work??
