Club Night 6th March 2012

What a terrific turn-out of members and guests - our Club Rooms were just about packed to the rafters! What a fantastic evening! We started with our 35th AGM where all office bearers were re-elected with the addition of one extra Committee member, Peter Littlejohn - welcome Peter. After the AGM we were well entertained by our members: Ken Mahy on his Korg Pa1X keyboard; June McCrorie on the Technics GA3 organ; and the first half was concluded with Warren Levick playing the Yamaha Clavinova CVP-509.
After a sumptuous refreshments interlude (thank you Delyse Whorwood and helpers) we were treated to a concert by Kane Steves who used the latest Korg Pa3X 76 note arranger keyboard. What amazing music and  what a wonderful keyboard. It is great to have Kane back on the North Shore after his sojourn to Melbourne. Kane has re-joined Music Planet and will be initially based at Music Planet Orewa.

Committee Member, Ken Mahy, did the honours for the arrival music and then started the formal session off by playing one of his current favourites.                    It was great to hear June McCrorie back playing at the Club and giving the Technics GA3 a good whirl. 

Warren played our Yamaha Clavinova CVP-509 as a straight grand piano for his three pieces.

Kane Steves demonstrated the magnificent sound and features of Korg's latest top-of-the-range arranger keyboard, the Korg Pa3X. The instrument comes in a 61 note and 76 note version. Kane Steves demonstrated the magnificent sound and features of Korg's latest top-of-the-range arranger keyboard, the Korg Pa3X.
