What a great start to the Club's 2013 schedule! A near full house enjoyed a great variety of music from both the Club's Clavinova piano and Technics GA3 organ together with two members' keyboards brought in for the evening. It was great to have a flurry of new members too. Having a good attendance certainly makes all the hard work of the Committee to stage these events worthwhile.
First half saw Dennis Lyons debut at the Club on his Korg keyboard and PA gear to boot. Dennis played the arrival music and then a performance during the official programme. Colin Crann entertained us on the Clavinova (love those Alley Cat meows!) and followed by Yvonne Moller on her Korg keyboard. To finish the first half, Peter Littlejohn stood-in for an indisposed member. Peter did a great job on the Clavinova with only a couple of hours warning he was playing!
The second half of the evening was taken up by our special guest artist, Doug Farr. Doug has been a member of the Club, off and on, for over 30 years and it is great to have Doug come and play for us given his vast experience with his beloved electronic organs. Doug certainly wound the Technics GA3 up and made it sound the quality instrument that it is.
As always, a big thank you to the Committee for organising the evening so well and a special thank you to our rotor door staff, John and Pauline Beales. We certainly kept them busy with the large attendance, visitors and early annual subscriptions to account for.
