Club Night 2nd June 2015

Despite a stormy, wild winter's evening a goodly number of our members and visitors were treated to a great night of music. In the first half, Michael Bramley played the arrival music and then gave a 15 minute performance for us on his Yamaha PSR-S950 keyboard and followed by Peter Jackson with his PSR-S950. To finish the first half, Jan and Kevin Johnston came down from Algies Bay to give a mini-concert for us - Jan on her beloved Korg Pa1X and Kevin on his trusty Crafter acoustic guitar. A lovely programme with a latin theme running through their performance.After a great refreshments break (chockie biscuits in great demand!) we were treated to an absolute World class concert by Alan Brown on Hammond SK2 two-manual organ (with genuine Leslie rotating speaker) and accompanied by one of Auckland very best percussionists, Jason Orme. The guys certainly turned on a stunning performance with some original songs by Alan and some jazz standards like 'Easy to Love' by Cole Porter. Top notch stuff. A big thank you to Roger Smith of Music Planet for loaning the Hammond SK2.

A big thanks also to the Committee for organising Club Night so professionally (as always).
