Club Night 5th March 2013

The evening commenced with the AGM at which Delyse Whorwood was appointed our new Secretary and we were delighted to welcome Diane Lyons to the Committee. Diane will take over the Catering Manager/Raffles role. After the AGM Peter Jackson entertained us on his Korg Pa1X keyboard. After the raffle draws and a 'nice cup of tea' our energies were recharged for an amazing concert given by our member, Takashi Iida on his wonderful Yamaha Electone Stagea organ. What superb playing skill and sensitivity along with a terrific selection of rousing music including amazing versions of pieces such as "I Dreamed A Dream", "Greensleeves", and "Amazing Grace". Thank you so much Taka as we know that it takes months of practice to attain the level of perfection in playing that you articulated. As always a big thanks to the Committee and door staff (Yvonne Crann and Diane Lyons). Also, Committee member, Peter Littlejohn deserves special mention for helping with the logistics of getting Taka's Stage organ to and from our Club Rooms.

 

                 

 

 

Playing for St Anne’s Club For The Blind

As part of The North Shore Organ and Keyboard Club's ethos is playing music for the Community. On Tuesday, 26th February Peter Littlejohn and Gordon Sutherland from our Club entertained St Anne's Club for the Blind at their premises in Gibbons Road, Takapuna. In fact, our Club has been entertaining St Anne's Club for the Blind every Tuesday for the last 24 years! Most weeks, long time member and past President, George Watt goes along and plays music on the piano for them but once a month other members of our Club do a turn to ease the workload of George and offer variety to the St Anne's Club members.
