As part of The North Shore Organ and Keyboard Club's Community Music Programme, it was our pleasure to entertain the members of St Annes Club for the Blind at their weekly meeting. For this meeting it was Peter Littlejohn and Gordon Sutherland who entertained. Plenty of foot tapping by the members as they enjoyed their luncheon.
A big thank you to Yvonne and Flemming Moller for sharing their lovely home with the Club for our March Coffee Day. Whilst the weather was a little unsure the weather picked-up for us to have our evening BBQ on the terrace - perfect! Probably due to the distance and being over the Harbour Bridge, not as many members made the effort to come to the Coffee Day which is a pity because is was an absolute corker of a day with lots of music, food, laughter and convivial company. Hopefully, the photos submitted from the day articulate the fun we all had.
The evening commenced with the AGM at which Delyse Whorwood was appointed our new Secretary and we were delighted to welcome Diane Lyons to the Committee. Diane will take over the Catering Manager/Raffles role. After the AGM Peter Jackson entertained us on his Korg Pa1X keyboard. After the raffle draws and a 'nice cup of tea' our energies were recharged for an amazing concert given by our member, Takashi Iida on his wonderful Yamaha Electone Stagea organ. What superb playing skill and sensitivity along with a terrific selection of rousing music including amazing versions of pieces such as "I Dreamed A Dream", "Greensleeves", and "Amazing Grace". Thank you so much Taka as we know that it takes months of practice to attain the level of perfection in playing that you articulated. As always a big thanks to the Committee and door staff (Yvonne Crann and Diane Lyons). Also, Committee member, Peter Littlejohn deserves special mention for helping with the logistics of getting Taka's Stage organ to and from our Club Rooms.
