Coffee Day at Mayfair Village

Another glorious Coffee/Community Music Day at  Mayfair Village, Northcross. We had a good cross-section of piano and keyboard players making good use of the available Steinway Grand Piano, 2 Korg Pa4X's and a Korg Pa300. A very nice lunch was available from the cafeteria as well and all in all we were made most welcome and the residents enjoyed the musical day.

Club Night 2nd April 2019

A very special evening with some lovely music of all genres. A good-sized audience were entertained in the first set by our members playing: Jim Nicholson did the arrival music for us on the Clavinova. Jim was followed by Hana Tani on Clavinova and followed by Claudette Wheeler also on the Clavinova. To finish the first set, Rod and Nelleke Moffat gave us to jazz standards and some 50' and 60's rock and roll numbers that certainly got the feet tapping!
After a refreshments break, we were entertained by Murray McIlwraith on our Yamaha Clavinova CVP-509. Murray mainly concentrated on his arrangements of some of the Jazz masters from the 30's such as Cole Porter, Hoagie Carmichael and George Shearing. What a great voice as well as a talented pianist!
A big thank you to the Committee and helpers that made the set-up and running of the evening go so smoothly.
