Lawsons Auction - Sunday 21st October 2012

It was a beautiful Spring day for the second Auction held by Lawsons this year in the School of Arts. The Hall looked beautiful filled with all the amazing pieces that were available for purchase during the 4 hour live, on site auction.

Furniture, jewelery, artwork and other precious items were all on display for people to view from Saturday and then again on Sunday morning prior to the auction beginning at midday.

Hard working committee members of the School of Arts were there working hard to provide food and drink for auction goers - always working hard to raise money for the hall when we can!

It was a successful day for both Lawsons and all the lucky buyers who managed to pick up a few bargains throughout the afternoon. We look forward to seeing another auction again in the Hall in the new year.

Duelin Piano Show - a great success!

Well what a night!

There were 110 in attendance, ages ranging from 3 to 92 – and we were all highly entertained. From the first note to the last, one encore was not enough at the end, but then maybe 100 encores wouldn’t have been enough either!

The boys hammered out the music, Hughie Scott-Murray & Michael McGlynn on the pianos and Peter Clarke on the drums, his playing only enhancing the beat to each song played. The songs ranged from Louis Armstrong to Pink, as did their voices, which were quite awe-inspiring.  An interview article in the Southern Highlands News said it best “the boys are like a human juke-box”. 

Not only could they play, but they also stirred up lots of friendly rivalry across the audience – calling for people from one side of the room to the other to out sing one another, then for the men versus the women, high and low went the tunes. 

A question asked “should they come back?” created a rousing roar of “yes” from the audience and the boys said they’d love to. So, watch out for future announcements - they'll be back next year - if you weren’t there this time, you won’t want to miss out next time!
