Coffee Day at Evelyn Page Village, Orewa 16th September 2016

A great day at Evelyn Page Village, Orewa and attended by over 30 Club members and a goodish size audience from the Village residents. The day was MC'd by our Events Manager, Diane Lyons, in the absence of our President Gordon Sutherland who was unable to attend. Whilst the number of keyboards brought along to play was a little down this month that didn't stop our players sharing the Yamaha, Korg and grand piano and a great time was had by one and all. The Management of the Village put on a delicious luncheon gratis for our Members as a thank you for our playing all day for the Village. Our hosts for the Day, Dorothy Waddel and Julia Bissett did a great job to handle the logistics. Julia also conducted the Evelyn Page Village Choral Group who shared their wonderful music with us all. A big thank you to Diane for being the MC for the Day and to Delyse Whorwood who handled door duties - Club information and raffle tickets.

A nice variety of music from our members in the first-half of the programme and followed with a very professional and accomplished performance by our guest artists Denise and Brian Gunson - Denise on our Clavinova CVP-509 digital piano and Brian on his G & L electric guitar.
To start the evening, our Treasurer, Laurie Conder, played the arrivals music on his Roland BK-9 76 note keyboard. The first half performances were provided by (in order of play): Phoebe Zhang (piano); Hana Tani (piano); Peter Longbottom (Korg Pa600 keyboard); Peter Jackson (Yamaha PSR-S950 keyboard); and finally, Laurie Conder (Roland BK-9 keyboard).
