Club Night 6th August 2013

A great evening of musical entertainment. The International audience was treated to a wonderful variety of styles, instruments and musicianship and all in a relaxed atmosphere. Arrival music plus performing for us was Peter Jackson on his new Yamaha PSR-S950. Marlene Forrest and Barbara Powell each played a session on Marlene’s Yamaha Tyros 4 and Ken Mahy played his Korg Pa1X. Our Guest Artist for the month was Rob Powell, President of the Organ Society of NZ Inc. Rob showed-off the versatility and wonderful styles and sounds that our state-of-the-art, Yamaha Clavinova CVP-509 is capable of. Thanks Rob for a great Concert.

As always, a big thank you to the Committee for organizing the evening so well,
As mentioned above, the International flavour of the audience resulted from Peter Jackson bringing along his two grandchildren that live in Japan. Plus our member, Kuniko Nakatani (also from Japan and visiting NZ for 12 months) helped Peter Littlejohn on door duties for the evening. Thanks to both of you.

Below are some video clips from last night. We hope you enjoy! Then follows the photos.
