As part of the Club's ethos of "Bringing Music to the Community", we had a lovely day at Northbridge Village in Northcote, North Shore, Auckland, NZ. Six of our members did turns of playing the Village's Yamaha Clavinova CVP-609 ensemble piano and indeed, one member brought along his arranger keyboard to add variety to the proceedings. The residents and our members seemed to really enjoy the music and certainly our Raffle was well patronised! We have been visiting this Village for at least 10 years and always a thoroughly enjoyable day - good music, good catering, good camaraderie.

A really good night of music - lots of variety, styles and wonderful musical entertainment. The evening started with a half-hour mini concert by Brian McMurray playing the Club's Yamaha Clavinova CVP-809 ensemble piano. In the main body of the first set, we were entertained by Graeme Webber on the Clavinova using some of the rhythms, layered sounds and added vocals to boot! Next up, Peter Longbottom played his Korg Pa600 with some memorable songs including some Scottish classics. To finish the first set, Len Hancy sang 5 songs that epitomized his youth in London, England and accompanied by backing tracks. Thanks, guys, for your great music.
After the Raffle draw and a refreshments break, we were ready for our guest artists, Jill and Joe Fingers. Jill providing vocals on some songs and Joe played his Yamaha PSR-S950 arranger keyboard in his inimitable style! Joe focussed on playing some of his favourite songs including some Irish ballads. As always, a very polished and entertaining concert.
