Flixton Buck Jazz

WOW! well that is one word I can say about the Jazz at the Buck last last night. and if you look in David, do not reprimand me too much about the grammer and dots etc, as I am on a high with such great music. I should be more careful I know as many jazz fans look in here, and so ~I apologize for mistakes.

Once again I forgot my camera, and I am sad about that as we had a great line up, but several people did take photos so am hoping someone will let me have them and I can get them on here...also hope some of them recorded it, (I know we should not) as it was worth it.

I do not know if I dare start to mention names in case I forget someone, however will have a try..if you need to know all of them of course pop over to Southwold Jazz site as Neil will be writing a proper report.

Tim is still away, so Simon with the great 6 pack took charge, (sorry but he is fit), maybe I should not say he was in charge! but he made such a great job of the main mike, many jokes and lots of fun. we had dear Bill who is off to Australia soon and we shall miss him, on the sax.. 'Trummy ' Mayhew on the Trombone and his silver baby tuba as I cannot spell what it is called whoops! and of course Alan who gets it all organised on the banjo and guitar. Craig who is sitting in for Neil on the drums, and what a great lot of drumming last night well done Craig. and of course my dear Prof. Tony on his wonderful double bass, who I could listen to all the time.

Then Mike L was there who said he was not going to play again, oh Mike how glad we all are that you changed your mind thank you. and a very nice man the name eludes me at the moment who played Trumpet. Singing we had Simon , and also Simon Denny, Chris and Roy so as I said such a great line up.

They played their hearts out, and I think I can say so enjoyed by all..

Thanks Ivan for taking us. my cousin is over from South Africa, and my dear sister in law Jan came with us and so pleased to know you both enjoyed it.

Dear Heather you are such a sweetie, and daughter. Simon and of course Phil the landlord, making the night go well.. and our dear friends Colin and Duncan who put up with me every week. all my lovely friends who also make the night go well. far to many to mention but you know who you are.

Tomorrow night a lot of jazz fans will be enjoying a farewell party for Bill, and we are sad we will not be going, but we will be thinking of you, and know you will have a ball. Ruth and Chris will be there, so hope you can get some good photos Ruthie.

Already looking forward to next week. Thanks for all the great music folk, you deserve much more praise than you get, so if anyone reads this that has not yet been to see the jazz, please pop in the Buck on a Thursday night and you will keep coming back for more.. and the meals are great there as well, hows about that for a good plug Phil!
