Club Night 1st February 2022

 This Club Night was our first event for the year and  in fact the first event since 3rd August 2021 courtesy of Covid-19!


We had a good turn-out of members appropriately attired with their Covid masks and Vaccine Passes! A great start to the New Year with three of our players performing in the first set. Roy Steen played the arrival music on his Korg Pa300 arranger keyboard and also gave a mini-concert in the body of the first set. Graeme Webber also gave a performance on the Yamaha Clavinova CVP-809 using both rhythms and vocals to enhance our musical pleasure. To finish the first set, Denise Gunson played the Yamaha Clavinova CVP-809 as well and again used layered voices and some background rhythms to enhance the performance. We are grateful to our Treasurer, Warren Levick, for assisting Graeme and Denise pre-meeting with setting-up arrangements for each song for their respective performances.


After the raffle and a refreshments break, we were delighted to have as our Guest Artist, Joe Finers. Joe has played for us at least 3 times previously and is always thoroughly entertaining with his keyboard skills and choice of songs which ranged quite widely including a Chinese ballad. Joe dressed the part for certain sections of his concert and for many of the songs he sang as well. We wished Joe a very Happy Birthday for the 7th February when he will be celebrating his 74th Birthday! We wish his wife, Jill, all best wishes to obtain a MIQ slot to return home from Malaysia where she has been stranded for 18 months.
