Coffee Day 16th September 2014

A very nice day was had at Rob and Barbara Powell's lovely home in Henderson. We were spoilt with the choice of the Clavinova CVP-210, Electone EL15 organ, and the very latest Yamaha Tyros 5 keyboard. A great day of music, convivial conversation and nice vitals to enjoy as well!
Thank you Rob and Barbara for sharing your home with us for Coffee Day.

Club Night 2nd September 2014

What a wonderful night of music! Great variety in the first half with members playing and then a fabulous concert by our very special guest artist, Deryn Trainer, in the second half. In the first half, Yvonne Moller started the evening off on her Korg Pa1X and followed by Ann Izzillo (all the way from Rotorua) on her Korg Pa3X. Denis Stewart then playing his Yamaha Tyros 4 and to finish off the first half Doug Farr played the Technics GA3 - what a great instrument!
A big thank you to Music Planet who acted as our sponsors for the evening and making the concert given by Deryn possible.
