Creative Keyboard Club June 2013 Meeting

Creative Keyboard Club June 2013

Our arrival music was played by Peter Jackson on his new Yamaha PSR S950 and our MC for the occassion was Dave Hallam.

Our program commenced with Marlene Forrest playing 'Spartacus' and 'Bolero' ... loved the styles and enjoyed by all. Thank you Marlene.



Next up was new member Yuko Tani making her club debut on Clavinova. Yuko played 'Love Story' and 'The Plough of God'.
Well played and looking forward to hearing more from you Yuko.


Shirley Smale then entertained us on the Tyros with 'With All My Heart and Soul' and 'Snowbird'. Well done Shirley.

Our mentor and sound technician David Hallam also played on Tyros the very patriotic 'I Vow To Thee My Country' and then on Clavinova 'The Way You Look Tonight'. Great as usual Thank You Dave.

Roy Steene on the Korg keyboard played 'Taking A Chance On Love' and a medley containing 'Clouds of Daffodils' and 'Volare'. He rendered these very well!

Takashi Iida then performed on his unique Yamaha Electone D Deck 'Londonderry' and 'Show Time' (and 'Sincerely'). Is he really nicknamed 'Ivan The Terrible'? Very nice Taka.

After the intermission our guest pianist Vladimir Shilov entertained on Clavinova. A great variety ranging from Gershwin's 'The Man I Love' (my personal favourite), 'Fidler on the Roof', Sambas, some Jazz and to the show stopper 'Putting On The Ritz'. With a little interlude from the Modern School of Music archives (it's amazing what you can find in Op Shops). Thank You Vladimir ... you are always a popular and versatile performer and we look forward to hearing from you again.
