What a lovely Coffee Day. The reception lounge annex at The Baptist Church, Birkdale was a super venue - plenty of space and facilities. We had Korg, Yamaha, Technics keyboards to play as well as a digital piano. Thank you Delyse for sharing your church premises with us for the day as well as all the great food you prepared for us.

Club Night 4th October 2011
Another absolutely wonderful Club Night with quality music and variety of styles in abundance. Our members played magnificently in the first half and then the evening was crowned by our guest artist and professional musician/music teacher, Dave Hallam, who played solidly for 1 hour 10 minutes including audience requests which he arranged and orchestrated on the fly with consummate ease. Wonderful - thank you Dave.
This was the Club's 34th Birthday celebration as well and so we enjoyed some lovely birthday cake in the interlude. Thanks as always to the Committee and helpers for making the evening go so smoothly. Definitely an evening to remember.
Our guest artist, Dave Hallam, thrilled us with his arrangements and selection of songs. Dave played 15 songs for us in his concert which lasted over one hour! In chronological order of play, Dave played the following songs for us:
- Georgia on my Mind
- It’s All Right With Me
- Caravan
- Summer Samba
- Till There Was You
- Excerpt from Swan Lake
- As Time Goes By
- Can We Be Friends?
- A Swingin’ Safari
- Tangerine
- Night And Day
- Old Folks
- A Walk In The Black Forrest
- La Vie En Rose
- American Patrol
Here is a YouTube video link for you to sample Dave’s playing on the night. The clip is of Dave playing “Night and Day” last Tuesday on Club Night. Enjoy!
