A goodly number of our members turned-up to enjoy this wonderful day at the lovely Northbridge Village. This was our second visit to this Village this year - returning by popular demand! What a great day it turned-out to be with lots of playing members enjoying the Yamaha Clavinova CVP-609 and the Korg Pa4X arranger keyboard. As always, we were well supported by a large number of residents who seemed to thoroughly enjoy the music of all types and genres. This Village has an excellent kitchen and so the cafeteria was very popular for lunch.
A highlight of the Coffee Day was the improptu arrival of professional musician, Ben Fernandez, who gave us a 30 minute mini-concert. Ben played the Clavinova and wow can he make it sing! Ben focussed on a medley of Beatles songs taking us down memory lane but with Ben's own inimitable touch and unique arrangements. All-in-all an absolutely lovely day of music, convivial company and great surroundings. Thanks to all the Committee members who contributed to making the Day go so smoothly and making it so special. A special thanks to our member and host from Northbridge Village, Jim Nicholson, together with the Village's entertainments chairperson, Pat White.
