Club Night 1st November 2011

The evening may have been stormy outside, but what a great ray of sunshine inside! We were treated to some great Club member playing in the first half and then treated to a wonderful concert in the second half which lasted a full 1 hour and 5 minutes non-stop! Our guest artists were Murray Hancox and Darren Smith both with the Musicworks Group.

Guest artist, Murray Hancox, played and sang for us for about 35 minutes on our Yamaha Clavinova CVP-509. Murray certainly made the instrument talk as well - but then he sells them at Musicworks Atwaters in Auckland City! Great show (as always) thanks Murray.                   Darren Smith, National Retail Sales Manager for the Musicworks Group, was our second guest artist and played for about 35 minutes for us with a mixture of straight piano and arrangements. What a magic touch and great sensitivity and sound quality coming from this pedigree instrument. Thanks Darren. 

To wrap-up the show, Darren and Murray put together a few songs with Murray on vocals and Darren accompanying on the Clavinova. As an encore, they did a great rendition of Georgia. Thanks guys for taking the time out of your hectic business lives to come and spend an evenig with us and sharing your great music and playing abilities.
