Club members, Gordon Sutherland and Colin Crann, had the pleasure of meeting the residents of the Fairview Lifestyle Village Hospital Wing in a mini concert. This is part of the Club's policy of taking its music out to the Community. Colin took along his Yamaha DGX620 ensemble piano and Gordon took his Korg Pa1X keyboard. The residents seemed to enjoy the variety of music played and then after the concert it was Happy Hour with the wine flowing freely - nice!
What a great DIY Club Night. We are blessed to have such a wonderful number of talented musicians and an equal number of enthusiastic listeners! We tried out our big screen for the first time and this certainly worked well for members to see all the action on the keys! It was great to have such a variety of instruments brought along to augment the Clubs Organ and Clavinova and terrific to see such a large attendance to enjoy the evening.
Members wished our past President, George Watt, a very happy Birthday in the usual way!
On a sad note we held a minutes silence at the beginning of the evening to remember two of our long-standing members who have passed-away in the last two weeks – Lenore Truscott and Clare Davidson. Please go to the Club’s Hall of Fame Web Page which you can access on the right-hand side of this page by scrolling-down or click here to see some memories of them. We showed a remembrance slide on the big screen at the start of the evening and this is printed below as well.
The members also were sad to hear that our beloved Secretary, Colleen Kerr, is very poorly at the moment and our thoughts and best wishes are with her for a speedy and positive outcome.
