While there he sang about five songs for Brian, residents and staff.

It was such an exciting time having Troy at our nursing home. 

At the conclusion he very generously had his photo taken with staff and promised if he had any spare time he would return – this received a loud applause from the residents who had “the best” all to themselves. 

Many older people will remember Brian Young, who in the 1960s was a champion bullrider, country and western singer and a showman who travelled all over Australia.

Brian was also a composer and helped Troy in his early days while he was getting established. 

This is where the friendship that exists today began. 

All the residents benefited from the great singing and music. 

Many thanks to Troy for sparing his time to entertain us all!
