What a terrific Coffee Day!
To augment the resident Yamaha C5 grand piano and drum kit, Peter Littlejohn brought his Korg Pa60 and Barbara McNab her Yamaha Tyros 3 - thanks guys. The President brought his Korg Pa1X for good measure!

The Coffee Day was attended by some 30 people for the day session and about 20 stayed-on for the evening BBQ and more music. We were pleased to welcome some special artists for the day, namely: Carole Littlejohn; Dave Hallam; Chris Larking; and, The Silver Swingers (Dorothy Waddel, Rob and Barbara Powell). As you would imagine, everybody had a ball what with the opportunity to play such wonderful instruments and be accompanied by professional musicians including our host, Ian Jackson, on the drums. Later in the afternoon it was time for cocktails to relax to some great jamming sessions and then a super BBQ to build the strength up for more great music! Thank you Ian and Maureen (Jackson) for welcoming us to your lovely home and making it such a special day.
There are some 47 photos taken of the day and so far too many to put in this Blog. But if you would like to look at the full complement of photos then go the the Club’s Picasa Web Album Site by clicking on the link below:
Carole Littlejohn, one of our special guests, playing the Yamaha C5 grand piano with Peter Littlejohn (no relation) accompanying on his Korg Pa60.
In the foreground we have one of our special guests, Dave Hallam playing the C5 grand piano and behind him, Gordon Sutherland on his Korg Pa1X. In the background we have Chris Larking on the Korg Pa60. El Presidente (Gordon Sutherland) was made to feel very special playing “Chariots of Fire” accompanied by such esteemed professional musicians! Out of shot, Carole Littlejohn, was accompanying also on the Tyros 3!
Hidden depths! Here we see Delyse Whorwood (right) accompanying on drums and later Pam Rea (below) showing her talents on drums also. Great stuff ladies!
Barbara McNab playing her beloved Yamaha Tyros 3 and pretty slick with it too!
Peter Littlejohn playing his Korg pa60 with Ian Jackson on drums and Dave Hallam taking a break at the C5 grand piano.
Chris Larking of Dr Music in the foreground accompanying Gordon Sutherland in the middle with Dave Hallam playing the C5 grand piano. All playing the same song at the same time in the same key – amazing!
Our Secretary, Colleen Kerr, enjoying the Tyros 3 with Ian Jackson supporting on the drums. A big thank you has to go to Colleen as she is the one who organizes Coffee Days for the Club and what a great job she does too!
Barbara Powell playing the Tyros 3 with Rob Powell in the background accompanying on the C5 grand piano and Ian Jackson supporting on drums. Barbara has one of these ‘babies’ at home and so she would have felt very much at home on it.
‘Gentleman Jim’, Jim Nicholson, the Club Treasurer, enjoying a quiet moment on the Yamaha C5 grand piano.
Definitely one of the best supported plays of the day – lunch!
Dorothy Waddel, Barbara Powell and our host, Maureen Jackson. Enjoying the fun and frolics.
