Coffee Day at Knightsbridge Village

Coffee Day was held at the lovely lifestyle village of Knightsbridge on the North Shore. With over 23 members attending and an audience of 58 residents we were entertained with some great music, good conversation and a great buffet lunch laid-on for us. Highlight of the Coffee Day would have to be the wonderful concert that Taka Iida put on for us on his new Yamaha Stagea (portable model). Taka played for about 40 minutes - wonderful choice of songs and superb orchestrations.

A big thank you to our Events Manager, Diane Lyons and our host for the Day, Margaret Black, for organizing the event so well with a really good size attendance from the Village residents.

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Club Night 6th June 2017

A great night of music with a really good attendance to enjoy the wonderful music. Arrival music was provided by Ken Mahy on his Korg Pa1X keyboard and followed by Merv Adair on the Clavinova. Merv certainly challenged us with a play and then ask what the song or composer was. Peter Jackson then played his Yamaha PSR-S950 with added vocals. Following Peter, Julia Bissett sang for us and accompanied by Dorothy Waddel on the Clavinova. To finish the first half, Diane Lyons played her Yamaha PSR3000 with some great melodies and tempting the audience into a sing-along with some of the numbers.
In the second-half, our guest artist, Takashi Iida (Taka) brought along his two-manual keyboard with pedalboard. Taka played 11 songs for us with a great variety of genres - wonderful music and wonderful musicianship.
A big thank you to the Committee and members who helped with kitchen/desk duties.
