Club Night 4th August 2026

 One of our very best evenings of great music. A near full house, were delighted by our artists who all demonstrated their diverse gentes of music. We started the evening with a big screen video of one of our members giving a concert at the Club a couple of years ago. The artist was Taka Iida playing his Yamaha Electone two-manual keyboard with pedalboard. Great to watch Taka demonstrate his mastery of the instrument with superb musicianship and lovely choice of songs.

To open the evening, Mary Elvin played some great popular music from the sixty's era on our Yamaha Clavinova CVP-809 ensemble piano. Very nice Mary. Then, Peter Longbottom played some great songs with full orchestrations on his Korg Pa600 arranger keyboard. To finish the first set, Yuko Tani played some great popular songs on our Clavinova and including: Bridge Over Troubled Water; and My Way. Great songs and expertly articulated - well done Yuko!

After the raffle and refreshments break, we were thrilled to have Hana Tani as our special guest artist. Hana is in her third year of music studies at university and whilst classically trained she played a mixture of classical, jazz standards and popular music. So Hana performed pieces from Listz, Chopin, The Sound of Music and ABBA and we were spellbound with wonderful music and magnificent musicianship. Thank you, Hana, for your great concert. We have seen Hana blossom from a 9-year-old to a young lady over the last 11 years or so and such modesty for a world class artist.
