Club Night 3rd May 2011

What a stormy day but such a sublime evening's musical entertainment. The first half saw some of our talented members show off their keyboard (and guitar) skills. In the second half of the programme, our guest artist was John Bercich, our resident professional musician of 50 years standing. John put a programme together to show-off the wonderful styles and sounds of the very latest arranger keyboards from Korg of Italy, the Pa3X. John played the 61 note version whilst for a section of the programme he invited Kane Steves from Music Planet Taharoto Road, Takapuna to demonstrate the 76 note version. What wonderful musicians and what great keyboards!

A big thank you to the Committee and volunteers who made the evening work so well. The raffle prizes were won by: Jan Johnston (bottle of wine) and Yvonne Moller (woolly scarf and gloves).

Len Osbourne did the honours for the arrival music and very nicely too - thanks Len. Len was playing his Korg Pa500 keyboard. Len Osbourne did the honours for the arrival music and very nicely too - thanks Len.
