The ladies were enjoying a day out at a tea cdance in Glasgow’s Merchant City when they put on the impromptu performance.

Speaking after their weekly get together, the ladies said they’re still adjusting to their new found fame.

“We had just come out the tea dance and were across the street looking at the menu for a restaurant.

“The jazz band were still playing and started a song that we know so we done our routine and the crowd seemed to enjoy it.”

The ladies who run a dance class in Possilpoint Community Centre called The Rockers, are hoping to use their newfound fame to benefit the community.

A JustGiving campaign has been set up to contribute towards building a new hub where ladies like the Glasgow Grannies, and other local people, can meet and socialise.

“The Community Centre is a looking a little run down,” explains Sadie Henderson.

“There’s 25 of us who use it for our dance class, but it’s not just about us. Kids use the facilities. So do the other men’s groups and things like that. There’s such a vibrant community in North Glasgow and we think this centre is due an upgrade.”

A JustGiving campaign has been set up and you can access it here. Any donations will completely go to the centre and contribute to building a new hub were ladies like the Glasgow Grannies, and other local people, can meet and socialise. It’s huge for community spirit.

“When we first started getting together, there was only 8 of us – now there’s 25.” said Sadie. “It’s just about having fun, getting out the house, socialising and doing some exercise. When you get to our age, you can’t do anything too strenuous.”

The group is also always looking for new members, with the ages of the women involved ranging from 50-90.

They invite anyone to join but acknowledge how difficult it can be to take that first step.

“A lot of people find it difficult to take that step through the doors when they don’t know anyone,” explains Edith. “But we try to make it as welcoming as possible, include everyone, and make everyone feel at home”.
