Coffee Day at Knightsbridge Village 24th October 2017

Another great Coffee Day at Knightsbridge Village's main lounge. We had lots of keyboards as well as the use of the gorgeous K. Kawai grand piano to listen to. A good number of our members came along to enjoy the day as well as an enthusiastic audience of residents and their guests. We also had a lovely smorgasbord luncheon to add to the exuberance of the day. It was great that International artist, Ben Fernandez, accepted our hosts, Margaret Black, invitation to come along informally and give a mini piano recital on the lovely K. Kawai grand piano. We are fortunate to have many semi-professional members of the Club that regularly join-in the music both at Coffee Days and our monthly evening Club Nights.

A big thank you to our Events Manager, Diane Lyons and our member/host for the day, Margaret Black, for organizing the event for us. We are also grateful to the management of Knightsbridge Village for allowing us to share their lovely facilities for the day and enabling the Club to apply its ethos of “Bringing Music to the Community”.

Club Night 3rd October 2017

A full house enjoyed a great evening of music with members playing in the first half and then our guest artists in the second half. Arrival music was provided by Arthur Reid on his Korg Pa3x. Peter Longbottom got the ball rolling playing his Korg Pa600 and followed by Warren Levick on the Club's Yamaha Clavinova CVP-509. To finish the first half, Denise Gunson played the Clavinova.

After a refreshing tea break, it was time to be entertained by our guest artists: Ben Fernandez on the Clavinova and Nick Jones on his acoustic and electric violins. What a wonderful concert with such a great variety of songs and genres. Definitely a night to remember!

A big thank you to the Committee and volunteers who made the evening flow so smoothly.
