Everybody who braved the winter showers to share the day at Delyse's home seemed to thoroughly enjoy the music, company and wonderful lunch. Gordon brought his Korg Pa3X keyboard and Michael Bramley his Yamaha PSR-910 keyboard, and so, with Delyse's Clavinova available there was plenty of choice of instrument to have a go on if desired. All in all, a very pleasant way to spend the penultimate shortest day of the year.
A near full house shared a wonderful evening of music presented by our very talented members together with a 7 year old future virtuoso pianist! Starting with some great arrival music from John Beales on his Korg Pa500 keyboard. Followed by: Michael Bramley; Cindy Yang (7 year old guest); and, Dorothy Waddel on the Clavinova. Then, Yvonne Moller played her Korg Pa1X, followed by Warren Levick on the Clavinova.
To start the second-half, Roy Steen and Peter Jackson worked together with Roy playing the Clavinova and GA3 organ and Peter playing his Korg Pa1X keyboard. Peter mixed playing the keyboard with some great singing and hilarious jokes! The finale was given over to Takashi Iida who brought his wonderful Yamaha Electone D-Deck two manual keyboard to entertain us with 6 amazing arrangements (full orchestration) with a mixture of well known easy listening pieces and some beautiful contemporary Japanese ballads. All in all, a terrific evening of variety and talented musicianship.
A big thank you to Philippa Zink and Sylvia Riddel for doing an excellent job on door duties. Also, thanks to the Committee for making the evening run so smoothly. The two raffle prizes were won by two visitors: Dennis (pot plant); and, Laurie Conder (bottle of white wine).
