A great Night's entertainment at our new Club Rooms at the Chelsea Room, Knightsbridge Village, Windsor Park, North Shore, Auckland, NZ. The meeting had a Christmas atmosphere with seasonal decorations and a wonderful supper provided by our Catering Manager, Jan Ellin. We had a good turn-out of members and potential new members. To start the evening, we played a video for the arrival's music from our Club Night in December 2020 whence we had the world class pianist, Carl Doy, play for us in concert - magnificent!
In the first set, John Mercer gave us three classical pieces on the Clavinova. This was John's debut at Club Night and gave us a nice variation of style from our usual light entertainment music. Well done, John! Next up, Warren Levick played four pieces including three modern Christmas songs from the likes of Wam and Elton John/Ed Sheeran very nice Warren and making good use of the sounds and rhythms on our Yamaha Clavinova CVP-809 ensemble piano. To finish the first set, Patrick McMillan gave us a mini concert including a great Christmas song medley and then some popular period pieces.
We had six prizes for our Raffle to celebrate the festive season and followed by a splendid supper. For the second set, Yvonne Moller played her Korg Pa3X arranger keyboard with some great jazz standards. To finish the second set, Denise Gunson gave us a mini concert for about 30 minutes with some great songs of various styles. Thanks for your wonderful music, Denise.
