Concert for Age Concern’s Prescott Club 29th February 2012

It was with great pleasure that the North Shore Organ and Keyboard Club gave a concert for the Age Concert North Shore Prescott Club members.  We play for the Prescott Club every fourth Wednesday each month and play for about one hour as pre-lunch entertainment for the members who then enjoy a cooked luncheon courtesy of the Age Concern organisation. For this concert members: Peter Littlejohn; Peter Jackson; and Gordon Sutherland had the privilege of playing for the Prescott Club members. These concerts are part of the North Shore Organ and Keyboard Club's programme of 'proudly bringing music to the Community' so that the broader general public can share our members love of popular music.

            

                   

   

 

Coffee Day 20th February 2012

A very nice Coffee Day at Delyse Whorwood's lovely home. The weather was kind too allowing us to make full use of the indoor/outdoor flow. Great music, great food and good support from our members to attend the Coffee Day. Thank you Delyse for sharing your home with us and for all your hospitality. We had plenty of instruments to choose from too: a Clavinova; Technics KN6500; Korg Pa1X; and, a Yamaha PSR-910.

 

  

  

                   

Club Night 7th February 2012

What a wonderful way to start the New Year's musical calendar for our Club. We had close to a full house (thank you for your support) of members and visitors to hear some great music by our members in the first half and then an awesome concert on our top-of-the-line Clavinova given by TV personality and now Education Manager for the the MusicWorks Group, Andy Keys. Arrival music was covered by Colin Crann on the Clavinova and followed by Des Rouse; Yvonne Moller; Pam Rea all on their own keyboards. To finish the first half, Peter Littlejohn, gave us some lively music on the Clavinova.
For the second half, Andy Keys played a full 50 minutes of classical excerpts which he played expertly and rather uniquely. Andy played each piece twice, once using straight piano and then orchestrated with sounds and rhythms just for fun! A great, inspirational Concert. Thank you Andy Keys.

A big thank you to the Committee for making the event happen and to Sylvia Riddell and Yvonne Crann for handling the door duties on the night.
