Jazz and Swing

Sunday September 26th, wow what a musical day!

This is the Big Band at the Flixton Air Museum, they are so great, and although it was pouring with rain outside, the warmth from all the lovely people in the hangar was just like in the war.
Just a few of the swing dancers, Stella and I are getting a bit past it to dance, but our feet were tapping away longing to be young again!
A few swing guys and gals during the interval. so good that they all dress up in the forties gear.
This is not line dance although it looks like it, I was taught this at the hangar dance the other year, but it is quite hard to pick up, they are good at it though.
This is where we went first ..to the Club, and the Footwarmers playing great jazz...Craig and Chris also play with the Sole Bay Band..
Pity they were both playing the same day, but thanks to Ivan we managed to get to both, and have a wonderful time.

Such a talented lot of musicians, and everyone is so friendly both here and the Hangar at Flixton, great to meet up with lots of friends at both places, and of course a nice lot of the Sole Bay Jazz crowd were at Flixton as well...hope you are not too tired today Stella.

Looking forward to the Sole Bay on Thursday, see my earlier post for who is playing this week. come and enjoy, it will make you feel good!
