With 22 of our members in attendance, we had a lovely day at Northbridge Village - lots of good music, conversation and a fab lunch from the cafeteria. It was good to see some potentially new members turning-up and in one case actually playing for us on the Village's lovely Yamaha Clavinova CVP-609.

Our loyal band of musical warriors enjoyed a great evening's entertainment. The weather was cold outside but cozy warm indoors with some really hot piano playing! The evening commenced with Colin Crann playing the arrival music on the Yamaha Clavinova CVP-509. Next up, President, Gordon Sutherland, played his Korg Pa4X. Hana Tani then gave us a piano recital and culminating with Mum, Yuko Tani, joining her for a lovely duet. Kay Boyes then played some lively music on the Clavinova and followed by a brief cameo by Colin Crann on Clavinova (we squeezed Colin in to the tight program as it was his and Yvonne's Wedding Anniversary #53!). To finish the first half, Jim Nicholson played the Clavinova with some great rhythms to accompany his piano playing.
After the raffle draw and a refreshments break we were ready for our Special Guest Artist, Lionel Reekie. Lionel has an International reputation for both his piano accordion playing and his singing. We were blessed with both for the concert with some wonderful melodies and vocals.
A big thank you to the door staff and kitchen staff for their tireless efforts and also to Rod Moffat and Peter Jackson for helping me, Gordon, set-up the venue in the afternoon - this takes best part of 2 hours for three people!
