Club Night 6th May 2025

 What a great night it was! Good crowd, lots of laughter, and fantastic music! Warren Levick provided the Arrival Music and followed by Ian Jackson. Due to sickness our second member could not turn up and play for us, but serendipity stepped-in and a former member, Paul McIsaac, happened to be in Auckland and came along. A quick nod of the head and he stepped-into the fray and played five great pieces for us. Wonderful music, thank you Paul. To finish the first set, Warren Levick played the Clavinova for us using the built-in rhythms/styles to great effect. Superb music in various styles by our three players in the first set.

After the Raffle and superb refreshments in the interlude (thank you to our new Catering Manager, Jan Ellin for the scones and bikkies) we were ready for our guest artists to perform. The band is called "Viva Jazz" and consists of Darren Smith on keys, Dean Tremlett on bass guitar, and Matt Hennessey on drums. Some great light jazz was enjoyed together with lots of friendly banter between the band and the audience. It was great to have some of the Band's fans turn-up to enjoy the fun. All in all, a great night of music.
