Great food, great venue, great camaraderie and wonderful music sums-up a terrific Coffee Day and evening BBQ at Peter & Lizza Littlejohn's lovely home in St Heliers. A quiet start at 10.15 am but the troops soon started arriving to enjoy some great music on Peter's array of instruments: a Korg Pa1X keyboard; Technics GA1 and GA3 organs; and a grand piano. Thank you Peter and Lizza for making this such a wonderful day for us all.
