What a wonderful way to spend a day - great music, lovely surroundings, and convivial company! About twenty of our members turned up on the day and we even had some guest artists playing for us and their music ranged from popular to Chopin!
We had four keyboards used as well as the beautiful K. Kawai grand piano.
Thanks to our host at Knightsbridge, Margaret Black, and our Events Manager, Kay Boyes, for organizing the Day.

What a great evening. We started with our AGM and thence, after a Coffee Break, we were entertained in the second half by: Three Peas in a Pod (drums, keys, electric bass); Warren Levick on our Clavinova; and last but certainly not least, Marion Robertson on our Clavinova also.
Great music and a genuinely delightful atmosphere throughout the evening.

Marion Robertson gave us an extended play on the Clavinova. Unfortunately for the Club, Marion and Peter will be re-locating back to the Tauranga region later this month. So thank you Marion for your wonderful music over the last couple of years and we wish you all good things back in the Tauranga region where you have so many long-term routes.
