Club Night 5th May 2015

A wonderful night of music! Such a variety of styles and instruments giving us a musical feast. The evening started with Roy Steen playing the Korg Pa900 and Pa80 with his wonderfully relaxed style. Our four members who played for us in the first half of the programme were: Pam Rea (Korg Pa900); Roy Steen (Korg Pa80); Laurie Conder (Roland BK-9); and Takashi (Taka) Iida on his two manual + pedalboard keyboard. Great music guys/gals. After a refreshing tea break we were delighted to welcome back as our Special Guest Artist, Chris Larking, the Manager of Mainline MusicWorks Albany. Chris is a professional musician with an extraordinary ability to play songs that really hit home with his audience with both wonderful style and sound choices and masterful and unique arrangements. Chris brought along a Yamaha PSR-S950 which he just about made talk especially through the Yamaha StagePas 600i PA System. For variety, Chris also played a few numbers on the Club's Yamaha Clavinova CVP-509 which sounded magnificent with Chris' golden touch.
All in all another wonderful evening of music, fun and laughs. A big thank you to the Committee for making the evening go so well.

Pam always finds great melodic songs that we know but don't hear very often - wonderful! Photo courtesy of Club Photograher, Dennis Lyons.

Takashi (Taka) Iida playing his two manual and pedalboard keyboard. Taka played 5 magnificently orchestrated and arranged pieces for us. The delivery was impeccable as always! Taka can spend several months perfecting the pieces he plays at the music clubs and we appreciate very much his dedication and admire his talent - an inspired 'amateur' musician.
