Coffee Day at Northbridge Village

A great day (as always) at Northbridge Village based in Akoranga Drive, Northcote. What a lovely, friendly and enthusiastic venue for our May Coffee Day. Some great music by our talented players too! Our members thoroughly enjoyed the day as did many residents. The cafeteria gave us lots of choices for snacks, drinks and lunches. A big thanks to Kay and Russell Boyes for organising the Day in conjunction with Pat from the Village and of course our host for the day, Jim Nicholson.

Club Night 7th May 2019

A select number of our members attended for our Club Night and were rewarded with a variety of music styles played on our Yamaha Clavinova CVP-509, Korg Pa300, and vocals. To start the evening Roy Steen did the arrival music and shared this with Brian McMurray. In the first set and in order of play we had Peter Jackson singing to backing tracks. Peter was followed by Merv Adair on the Clavinova. After Merv we were treated to some classical pieces by a guest, Hugo Tan. Hugo is just 13 years old and has been playing piano for 3 years. Very nice playing indeed!  To finish the first set, Roy Steen played his Korg Pa300 with some great sounds and a lively selection of songs.After the refreshments break, our guest artist, Denise Gunson, played for us beautifully on our Yamaha Clavinova CVP-509. Denise played both straight piano and some pieces with layered sounds and rhythms. A lovely selection of pieces as usual from Denise and ranging from Hoagie Carmichael to Connie Francis!
