Coffee Day at Settlers Village, Albany

 A great day was had by one and all. It is 11 years since we last played at this lovely village and we were made most welcome by the Management and residents. It was good to catch up with a former member of the Club, Barbara McNab, who lives in this luxurious village. We had a good variety of our members playing both on the Village's Yamaha C2 grand piano and on arranger keyboards brought in by certain of our members. Plenty of enthusiasm by the Village residents which was encouraging.

Club Night 4th March 2025

 A great night's entertainment with a distinct variety of music from classical piano to jazz standards on piano and pop/country style on guitar and vocals! We had a goodish attendance considering it was AGM night for the first 50 minutes. In the first set, Brian McMurray gave us a performance on our Yamaha Clavinova CVP-809 playing nice jazz standards. Brian also kindly provided the arrival music. After the raffle and refreshments break, Hana Tani played the Clavinova for us with a mixture of jazz standards and classical pieces including Rachmaninov. What a wonderfully talented teenager who has been playing at our Club over the last 10 years and oh how she has developed. To finish the second set, Charles Rafi [Rafi] played his electric guitar with added vocals with some Pink Floyd and Toto! Well done Rafi, a nice change of style for the Club.
