Club NIght 7th June 2022

 A great night of music at The North Shore Music and Keyboard Club's monthly Club Night. Arrival music was kindly provided by Peter Longbottom who brought along his Korg Pa600 arranger keyboard. Peter then gave a mini concert in the first set. Following Peter Longbottom, we were entertained by Rob Moffat on his Korg Pa4X (76) arranger keyboard and Nelleke Moffat who provided vocals on some of the songs. Some great nostalgic 60's and 70's Rock and Roll/R & B which got the feet tapping and the hands clapping along.

After the raffle and a refreshments break, we were entertained by Kane Steves, the Piano and Keyboard Department Manager, from Music Planet Takapuna. Kane is a professional musician and available for gigs of all types. Kane played the Club's Yamaha CVP-809 ensemble piano and a Korg Pa1000 arranger keyboard that he brought along to enhance the concert with variety. What an impressive performance with great playing and superb vocals to boot! Kane played a wide variety of music, both ballads and upbeat R & B, from the 60's and 70's - right up our alley! Kane certainly showed off the amazing sound and style features of the Korg Pa1000.

Overall, a great night's entertainment and a well-sized audience in attendance to enjoy the show.

Glenfield Library Celebrating Music Month

 The Club (NSMKC) was invited to contribute a music concert at Glenfield Library as part of their celebrations for Music Month. The event was kindly coordinated by our Media Manager, Warren Levick. We were invited to give an hour's concert both for those present at the Library and for a live stream to certain of the Library's patrons.
The Club players who kindly volunteered their services were: Denise Gunson; Warren Levick; and Gordon Sutherland. Denise brought along her portable stage piano for herself and Warren to use. Gordon brought along his Korg Pa4X arranger keyboard to add variety to the Concert. It was great that some of the Club members turned-up to support the event as well as the Library's patrons. The Club's ethos is to "Bring music to the Community" and so it was a great way to share our love of music with the public at large.
A big thank you to our Media Manager, Warren Levick, for organizing the event in conjunction with Honour from the Glenfield Library. The Library certainly made us very welcome and overall the Concert was a success and very enjoyable for everyone present with a variety of light popular music played.

Coffee Day at Parklane Village

A very enjoyable Coffee Day was held in the lounge of the Parklane Village in Sunnynook. The Village made us very welcome and we had a good turn-out of members. There was an excellent selection off the a-la-carte menu for lunch and the food was delicious! We had two keyboards brought along and our piano players enjoyed the Schimmel grand piano.
