Coffee Day at Warren Levick's Home 20th May 2026

 What a lovely day both with wonderful music and great weather and beautiful gardens to admire! Warren put on a very nice luncheon augmented by members bringing a plate. Warren has two living areas. In the front lounge he has a Yamaha Clavinova CVP-309 GP ensemble piano together with a Yamaha Electone EL70 organ. In the main living area Warren has his Yamaha Clavinova CVP-809 ensemble piano which is the same model to the one the Club owns. All three instruments were played and so it was great to hear the variety of music and styles between all three instruments.

A little disappointing with the limited member turn-out but some members were overseas at the time.

Club Night 5th May 2026

 A great night of music and much enjoyed by all attending. For the arrival music, we played part of a concert given at our Club Rooms on 1st December 2020. Our special guest artist on 1st December 2020 was no less than one of New Zealand's finest pianists, Carl Doy.

In the first set we were entertained by Ian Jackson and then Warren Levick both playing the Club's Clavinova CVP-809. Great music guys. To finish the first set, we were sent on a trip down memory lane, whence Len Hancy sang songs from the 1930's through the 1960's with backing tracks. The theme was British comedians who also had great singing voices. Some artists songs played were from: Flanagan and Allen; Max Bygraves; Ken Dodd; and Morecambe and Wise.

After supper, kindly managed by Margaret Black, we were entertained by Denise Gunson on our Yamaha Clavinova CVP-809 ensemble piano. What a wonderful pianist Denise is and what a great variety of songs played. Denise's arrangements were magnificent with her crisp playing style so enjoyable.
