Prescott Club 24th June 2009

On behalf of the Creative Keyboard Club and the North Shore Amateur Organ and Keyboard Club, Gordon Sutherland, George Watt and Colleen Kerr gave an hour's concert for Age Concern's Prescott Club. Colleen and George played the Church's piano and Gordon brought along his Tyros keyboard. The Prescott Club attendees certainly enjoyed the variety of music offered. Well done team for getting out there amongst the people as part of both Clubs' efforts to 'Bring Music to the Community".

 

 

George Watt got the show or the road by playing a lively medley of songs both in the first half of the show and then the second half. Plenty of foot tapping from the appreciative Prescott Club members.

 

 

 

 

Gordon Sutherland's first session included two pieces by The Shadows:
'Wonderful Land" and "Apache"
followed by
The Kinks "Sunny Afternoon"

For the second half, Gordon played:
"Green Fields" and
"Bridge Over Troubled Water"

Colleen Kerr played in her first session:
"Crazy" and

"Lazy River"
followed in the second half with:
"Moonlight Serenade" and
"I'm In The Mood For Love"

Very polished and much enjoyed by the audience.

 

 

 

 

 

George Watt amused the audience with a great joke whilst Gordon was setting-up for his second session.

And now for the 'stars' of the day, the Prescott Club members:

 

 

Coffee Day with the Waddel's 15th June 2009

22 Club Members enjoyed a great day at Dorothy and Trevor Waddel's home. Lots of instruments to choose from with a Clavinova CVP-208; Hammond Organ; acoustic piano;   Yamaha DGX620 88 weighted key ensemble piano; and a Korg Pa1X keyboard brought along by Skip Eade. The weather was unkind with rain but we were cosy warm inside and enjoying a great variety of music and styles of play. Thanks Dorothy and Trevor for hosting our Club and making it such a special day.
