What a lovely way to spend a Tuesday! A beautiful Lifestyle Village, great camaraderie, wonderful food and fantastic music. A big thank you to our hosts, The Peninsula Club, for allowing us to share our music with the residents for the day. As always, a very big thank you to our Events Manager, Diane Lyons, for arranging the venue and raffle for us.

Club Night 1st September 2015

A great night of fantastic music and all provided by our talented members! After some great arrival music by Diane Lyons, we then had Rendall Miller on our GA3 Technics organ accompanying Vicki Chen on our Clavinova CVP-509 ensemble piano. This was followed by Roy Steen on his Korg Pa80 and then Diane Lyons on her Korg Pa900. To finish the first half, Rob Powell (President of the Organ Piano and Keyboard Club of Auckland Inc.) gave us a mini-convert showing off the capabilities of our Clavinova CVP-509 to great effect. After a very social refreshments break we were ready for Brian and Denise Gunson to give the guest artists full concert for us. Marvellous stuff, well done all!


As always, a big thank you to our Committee for organising the evening so well.
