Club Night 4th August 2015

One of our best evenings ever! Great music from our members in the first half and then two
World Class artists as our second-half guests. A good sized attendance for this very special Club Night despite the wintry weather outside.
In the first half, arrival music was provided by Claude Moffat on our Clavinova and followed by: John Beales (Korg Pa500); Claude Moffat (Clavinova CVP-509); Barbara McNab (Clavinova); and then Rod (Korg Pa3X 76 note) and Nelleke Moffat (jazz vocal).
After a refreshments break it was time to welcome our guest artists, Nick Jones on electric and acoustic violins accompanied by Ben Fernandez on our Clavinova CVP-509. What a wonderful Concert and Nick and Ben have given permission for the Concert to be captured on video as a lasting memory of a very special occasion.
As always a big thank you to the door staff and Committee for organizing the evening so well.

Coffee Day at Settlers Village

Coffee Day this month was at Settlers Village in Albany where our host, Barbara McNab, resides. The weather was lovely and the music was full-on from 10.30 am through to 3.30 pm. One of the highlights was the Settlers Ukelele Band that contributed some great Pacifica type music. A special big thank you to Barbara McNab our host and Diane Lyons our Events Manager for organising the day.

Club Night 7th July 2015

A DIY evening where our members were the 'stars' and how well they all played too! A cold, wet evening outside but warm inside with some really hot music played! John Beales played the arrival music to get the evening off to a great start. Hana Tani then played the Clavinova most splendidly - wow all that talent and still only 10 years old! To finish off Hana's slot, she was joined by mum, Yuko, and they played a couple of duets - super stuff. Gordon Sutherland followed on Colin Crann's Korg Pa3X and followed by Warren Levick on Clavinova with a theme of old TV songs- very nice. After the break, we were entertained by Colin Crann on his Korg Pa3X (76 note version) and followed by Peter Herrick on his Yamaha Tyros 5. To finish the evening, Denise and Brian Gunson entertained us on Clavinova and electric guitar - lovely touch Denise and well supported by some great guitar playing by Brian. A big thank you to the Committee for making the evening go so well. The new seat cushions went down well too - one must be comfortable to enjoy ones music!
