Club Night 5th July 2011

A great evening of musical variety with the first half of the programme let-over to selected members playing the Club's Clavinova and Technics GA3 organ together with a keyboard brought along. We made good use of the big screen and projector by showing some short musical video clips of organist, Hector Olivera and Dudley Moore. A big thank you to Doug Farr for bringing the video clips for us to share. The second-half of the programme introduced our guest artist, John Perkin, who brought along his brand new and state-of-the-art arranger keyboard - the Korg Pa3X. What a wonderful instrument and concert! Thank you John for sharing your music with us and also a big thank you to our very talented members who played for us, namely; Colin Crann; Desiree Barrows; Alan Dadson; Denise Gunson; and Doug Farr.
As always a great effort by the Committee to organise the evening and also to our co-opted door entry assistants - Peter Jackson and Peter Littlejohn. The raffle prizes of a bottle of wine and a set of ladies bags were won by Alita Bercich and Ken Mahy respectively.
