The Sixties Entertainers are in demand around rest-homes in Dunedin and Mosgiel, and have performed at almost all of them over the years. The group has a great reputation, receiving return invitations to come back and perform again and again.
For many years, the Sixties Entertainers have been accompanied by pianist Chris Pike, who learned the instrument when he was about 8, and has had nearly eight decades of playing and bringing joy to audiences — an unbeatable record.
Pike has indicated he will be "retiring" as the Sixties Entertainers pianist in December, and his presence will be missed.
