Club Night 7th April 2015

A Great Night of musical adventures - each artist with his/her own style of play and choice of music. After some great arrival music by Colin Crann played on his Korg Pa3X (76 note), we started the evening off with a 9 year old young lady on piano. Hana Tani has been playing for 3 years and played "Romanian Folk Dance" in 6 movements - magnificent! We wish Hana well for her upcoming talent competition.
We were then treated to four of our Members playing for us: Marlene Forrest on her Tyros 4; Yvonne Moller on her Korg Pa1X; Colin Crann on his Korg Pa3X (76); and last but not least, Claude Moffat on the Clavinova CVP-509. Good stuff guys/gals.
After a relaxing refreshments break, we were right royally entertained by Murray Hancox - the consummate professional entertainer. Murray is the Manager of the Piano and Keyboard Department of Atwaters in Hobson Street as well as being a professional musician. We were treated to a wide range of genres including some audience requests. All in all, a great night's entertainment!
Thanks as always to the Committee for organizing the event so well.
