The arrival music was played by Diane Lyons. We Thank You Diane. This was followed by the AGM and if you wish a copy of the Minutes please contact Philippa Zink.
First of our players was Sylvia Joseph with 'Rambling Rose' and 'Only Dreams will Do'. You swung those along very nicely Sylvia.
Next was Colin Crann on Clavinova with movie themes 'At Last' and 'Pennies from Heaven'. Thank You Colin.
Barbara McNab played on the Clavinova 'Solitaire' and 'Chatanooga Shoe Shine Boy' which was a new one to a lot of us. Thank You Barbara.
After our tea break our guests The North Shore Music Makers Accordian Orchestra entertained us under the baton of Christine Johnston. It was lovely to see all those young faces having fun and several soloists took the floor. Among them were Catrina Lin, Craig Jeffries, Jessie Chen, Adam Perry, Annabel Ding, Corey Jeffries, Ben Drury and Alexandra Reekie.
Lionel Reekie and Maurice Jones then dueted on accordian with some vocals from Lionel. They played a Blues, and a Latin American bracket which included 'Por Una Cabeza' (the tango from Scent of A Woman). These were videoed for World Accordian Day and ended with a jazzy rendition of 'Pokarekare Ana' .... very appropriate for the New Zealand componment of World Accordian Day 2013. If you scroll down to the NZ segment of the page link Lionel and Maurice are around the 14min mark of the video. Thank you all you gave us some worldclass entertainment and we look forward to seeing Lionel back in November.
