Trips back to the 50s with Billy

Billy Gibbons, featured on Mirror Online, also appears this week in the Chronicle, which says:

Audlem eccentric Billy Gibbons is hoping to take a group of elderly residents back in time as he opens up the door to his home – a 1950s time warp.

The 58-year-old works as an entertainer at Audlem Country Nursing Home and Minshull Court Nursing Home in Crewe – which both care for people with dementia and enduring mental health problems – and hopes his cottage in Green Lane will evoke some of the residents' childhood memories.

He's planning to take some of the men and women from both homes to his house in small groups and let them take a look at the 1950s wares that fill the property, including one of his latest purchases, a radio marked with his birth date – August 13, 1956.

"I'm living – apart from just a couple of things – completely in the 1950s and have done for years," said Billy.
