Two posts in one day but had a busy time yesterday!
With some good friends (and a few of the fans of the Sole Bay Gentlemen) we went to St Michaels Church here in Beccles to see and hear Jacqui Dankworth in concert, with her backing group of Roy Dodds-drums (great solos) Dudley Philips- bass (lovely finger picking) and the great Chris Allard -( a wonderful guitarist).
Jacqui has a great voice and sounded so good in the echoing church, and what a full house, she of course refered to her Mum Cleo and her Dad John, all in all a great night of entertainment.
A pity they did not have a higher stage as I think most of us had a stiff neck trying to see them as the church maybe is not a good venue for everyone to see, but the sound was good and as we were in the back pew was able to stand now and again to see them all..
Even the bats came out for a while and flew around...They are used to being quiet I expect in mid week at the Church!
Well done to all the helpers at the venue as they worked hard, and looked great in their suits and dicky bows...all went smoothly and lets hope the good work continues for the festival...
There are a nice lot of entertainment for the coming week, We are off to the Waveney House Hotel next Tuesday to see 'Art Deco', which is of course our own Ray Simmons, with Tim Densham, Alan Cugnoni,Tony Jullings and Neil Kane who entertain us on Thursday nights...and Simon Denny him of the lovely voice that sometimes we hear at the Buck as well...
Enjoy it all everyone who attend even some of what the Festival is providing, we are proud of our little town and nice to hear good things as well as all the many unsavoury stuff that goes on around us in this world today, nice to sit back and relax and enjoy life.

Glad to hear you had such a good time. I am so jealous you got to see her live. She was awesome on Radio 3 the other night.
