Virtual Club Afternoon - 16th November 2021

With Covid-19 lockdown restrictions, the Club decided to hold a virtual Club meeting using the Zoom video conferencing platform. Members were invited to submit videos for inclusion in the Club Afternoon. The virtual Club Afternoon was most successful with many of our members linking into the session and enjoying just under two hours or great music. To retain the occasion, I submit below the Four Sets that made-up the Musical Afternoon and the Club hopes that you enjoy - wherever you may be in the World.

Club Night on 3rd August 2021

 A great night of music on our Club Night. In the first half we were entertained by Peter Longbottom on his Korg Pa600. Peter played the arrival music and a mini-concert for us with a walk down memory lane. Graeme Fuller played the Clavinova for us with his bouncy stride style play. To finish the first half, Graeme Webber played the Clavinova CVP-809 with Warren Levick assisting with the button pushes as Graeme is not too familiar with the Clavinova at this stage and he wanted to use accompaniment styles and vocals over the top. Lots of fun Graeme and well done to our artists in the first half.
After the raffle and a refreshments break, we were entertained by Taka Iida who brought along his Stagea portable two manual keyboard and pedalboard. Taka gave us an amazing Concert with jazz standards that we all love but his orchestrations and professionalism were out of this World - well done and thank you so much Taka.
