Club Night 3rd April 2018

A Tale of two halves! In the first half we were indulged with an exuberance of classical and light entertainment music by our wonderful members playing both the Clavinova piano and an arranger keyboard. A Big thank you to our players for the evening: Audrey Henden; Hana Tani; Claudette Wheeler; and, Roy Steen. We had a sumptuous refreshments break with biscuits sent to us by Reiko Noda from Japan! Reiko has played for us at the Club on several occasions when she has been in New Zealand. Thank you Reiko.
For the second-half we had something completely different (variety is the spice of life?) with a Mexican 5-piece band entertaining us with Mariachi style music. Wonderful musicians and superb vocal harmonies.
