Coffee Day at the Club 15th May 2011

Something different this month for our Coffee Day, instead of holding the event at a member's home we held it at our Club Rooms so that our instruments could be made use of. We set the room up cabaret style with the coffee and tea freely available when desired on a side table (together with a delectable cheese board and bikkies - thanks Delyse Whorwood for organizing the refreshments so well). As well as our lovely Clavinova and Technics GA3 organ we also had a Korg Pa3X available to play. The Korg Pa3X is the very latest flagship keyboard from Korg. A great afternoon of music for those that made the effort to attend. The two raffle prizes were won by Marlene Forrest and Ngaire McRae.

           

                        

           

           

                    

           

            

 

Club Night 3rd May 2011

What a stormy day but such a sublime evening's musical entertainment. The first half saw some of our talented members show off their keyboard (and guitar) skills. In the second half of the programme, our guest artist was John Bercich, our resident professional musician of 50 years standing. John put a programme together to show-off the wonderful styles and sounds of the very latest arranger keyboards from Korg of Italy, the Pa3X. John played the 61 note version whilst for a section of the programme he invited Kane Steves from Music Planet Taharoto Road, Takapuna to demonstrate the 76 note version. What wonderful musicians and what great keyboards!

A big thank you to the Committee and volunteers who made the evening work so well. The raffle prizes were won by: Jan Johnston (bottle of wine) and Yvonne Moller (woolly scarf and gloves).
