Ladies Probus Club of Warkworth

North Shore Amateur Organ and Keyboard Club and Creative Keyboard Club have a joint Music Project to take music to the community.

Peter Brophy and Gordon Sutherland had the pleasure of providing the musical entertainment for the Ladies Probus Club of Warkworth's last function of the year.

Peter doing his stuff

The ladies were charming and seemed to enjoy the variety of music, jokes and musical quiz. The music stretched over about two hours - amazing how time flies when you are having fun! It is always satisfying to see people get up and dance showing that they are enjoying the music and 'punchy' rhythm! All in all a lovely day in sunny Warkworth. Food was good too!

                

                

Not all the music came from Peter and Gordon, with a little stealth and cajoling the Committee for the Ladies Probus Club stepped-up to the stage and gave us a very melodic and hearty version of "Maggie" under the musical direction of Peter. Well done Committee!

            

Hey, the music must have been OK because look - spontaneous dancing in the aisles! Nice timing ladies - keeping in sync with the rhythm - but a bit of a challenge taking a photo with all those twirls!

                                                                

Coffee Day at Peter Brophy's Lovely Home

A great day at Peter Brophy's lovely home. Peter laid-on a BBQ complete with BBQ' d beef and a whole ham for the 24 members to demolish, all washed down with some choice Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc! The photo on the right shows Peter basting the beef on his BBQ (Photo courtesy of Colleen Kerr). Whilst the weather was overcast the sun was shining indoors with the great music from the 3 different top-of-the range brands of keyboards and a state-of-the-art ensemble digital Yamaha piano (DGX630) kindly provided for the day by Mainline Musicworks, Taharoto Road, Takapuna. Some great music was shared on the variety of instruments - keyboardist's heaven! We even had the option of a swim in the heated swimming pool with one taker! They say that a picture is worth a thousand words and so let's look at the photos from the day.
