This is Tony’s second Concert to our Society in Llanelli, his first at the Calsonic Social Club, previously his programme, at the RAFA Club on 16^th July 2001, was brilliant. We thank Tony for making the journey from Yorkshire to entertain us and we know that we will enjoy a magnificent performance.

Tony recently proudly accepted the British Organ / Keyboard Player award for the second consecutive time. He has now linked up with Andrew Nix to produce their own, very successful, T & A Festivals. In fact on the weekend prior to his Concert with us he will be at, a fully booked, T & A Event at Mill Rythe Holiday Village, Hayling Island.

This is a Concert is not to be missed so please come along with your friends and neighbours to enjoy a wonderful evening of popular music.

2.      David Thomas gave our last Concert on the latest ‘pearl of Organ magnificence’ from Roland – the Atelier AT900 that has a full pedal board. My thanks, once again to Ray (Mathews), who provided the following excellent account:

                                                             i.       “David started appropriately with ‘This is a Lovely Way to Spend an Evening’ and followed with a medley of Irving Berlin tunes, all recognisable by the foot-tapping audience. Next came a very accurate weather forecast ‘Here’s that rainy day’, ‘Misty’ etc, etc, etc.. A Latin/American section followed, including ‘Perfida’ and ‘Besamucho’. David finished the first half with a selection of Hoagy Carmichael numbers.

The second half started with a medley of popular tunes including ‘Tenderly’, ‘Moonlight in Vermont’, plus some quality music from ‘Porgy and Bess’. Next came a selection of well-known marches followed by the ever-popular “Glen Miller Sound”. He concluded with a brilliant rendition of John Miles’ ‘Music is my First Love’.

Again, a great concert by a great artist – it was a pity that so few were able to attend”.

3.      We had an enjoyable Club Meeting on 16^th June 2008 with so many playing our Club TYROS. This turned out to be a splendid musical evening.

Many thanks to all who participated on the night.

4.      Unfortunately we have had no nominations to date for the vacancies of Chairman & Hon. Treasurer for the 2008 – 2009 year. This has now reached a very serious stage and the current Committee is re-making another urgent appeal for nominations to be submitted.
