Coffee Day at Fairview Lifestyle Village

 We always have a great day entertaining the residents (and our members) on Coffee Days at this lovely village. We had an enthusiastic audience of residents and our members that came along to enjoy the day. Plenty of good and varied styles of music in opulent surroundings and excellent cuisine provided by the kitchen staff. It was good that we had three of our members playing that are also residents of the Village as well as a guest appearance of a resident who played the grand piano with a jazz focus.

Club Night 5th August 2025

 What a great night of music! A good attendance and some terrific music spanning lots of genres and eras. The evening started with arrival music provided by Warren Levick on our Yamaha Clavinova CVP-809 ensemble piano - a good half-hour warm-up session! Thank you, Warren. To start the formal proceedings, Ian Jackson played the Clavinova with some great individual arrangements of classical pop songs like Billy Joel's Piano Man. Great start to the evening, thanks Ian. Next up, Yvonne Moller played her Korg Pa3X arranger workstation with some great beats and the music was really syncopating! Well done, Yvonne. Finally, Patrick McMillan played the Clavinova again with some lovely melodies by the such as Burt Bacharach. Nice playing and superb arrangements, thanks Patrick.

After the Raffle and Refreshments break, our guest artists were Ben Fernandez on the piano, his son, Josh, on sax, clarinet, bass guitar, and cajon - but not all at the same time, and Bosco Fernandez who is Ben's brother now residing in Auckland who played some amazing duets with Ben. As always, a very polished and thoroughly enjoyable concert of popular songs from the last 50 years. Thank you, guys.
