Coffee Day 19th April 2010

Another really special Coffee Day at Peter Littlejohn's lovely home. It was great to have some visitors as well as Club members to 'spice' up the variety of music. In particular, it was great to welcome Carole Littlejohn; Dave Hallam; Damien Shalfoon and Daphne Fulton as well as our resident professional musician, John Bercich. The session started in the garage/rumpus room with four keyboards set-up and a Technics GA1 organ to play. After lunch we had a session upstairs where Peter has his Technics GA3 organ and grand piano. For those that could stay on after 3.30pm the Day carried on with a cocktails hour and then a BBQ and more music in the rumpus until about 9.30pm. All in all a splendid day of music and camaraderie and a big thank you to Peter for all his hard work during the day to make it such a memorable occasion.
