Our Program …
Our guest Chris Larking started the afternoon. Chris introduced several of his young pupils (pianoforte) and son Alex who played tenor sax ('Amazing Grace' with dad on clavinova).
It was great seeing the children getting their first taste of performing live and gaining confidence. Chris's songs included 'Edelweiss', 'Girl From Ipanema', 'Popcorn', 'Wind Beneath my Wings', 'Fly Me To The Moon', 'Wave'. Chris ended with a medley consisting of 'Song Of Joy', 'Rule Britannia', 'Waltzing Matilda', 'Advance Australia Fare' and our NZ National Anthem.
Our second guest today was Chloe Vaughen a very talented young singer and tap dancer. Chloe performed an 'Annie' medley of song and dance and later on in the afternoon returned with 'I'm Not That Girl' and 'Tennessee Waltz'
Club members performing in the second half were …
Pam Rea on keyboard with 'You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To' and 'To The Evening Star'
Rob Powell live on clavinova with 'Shuffle Off To Buffalo' (from 42nd Street) and a medley consisting of 'Darktown Strutter's Ball', 'Five Foot Two', and 'Sue, City Sue'
Denise Gunson on clavinova with 'The Rose' and 'Dream A Little Dream'
Quite a diverse array of performers today … a BIG Thank-you to All for taking the time and performing so well. We all know the amount of time and effort it can take to get up there and do it!
