What a wonderful night ..

 Every week when I write on here a little about  the live jazz that is performed for us fans  on a Thursday night I think it cannot get any better, but this week at the Pavilion it did just that. 

Thank you gentlemen for a really great night of music, not only did we have a wonderful mix of different sounds, with Doris Day and Marilyn Monroe influences among the many other themes, the fun you all had made it even better, I have never heard so much applause and cheering, you all played so well and your drums Craig looked as good as they sounded...

I have managed to get most of you in the photo this week which makes a change as well. Trummy always manages to get more notes out of that trombone than anyone else, and Tony on his magic double bass what a player.

 Ron, you told me you like playing at the venue, well we love having you there, so welcome to our little corner, a nice smile as always from Craig here..

 Ray you played so well, so many different sounds, and Alan there in the background, well done Alan you always get a great mix of players, and this week was especially good.

Roy was invited to sing a few songs and as always he gets everybody going with all the energy he puts into them..

Thanks again to our hosts Jon, Marilyn and Heidi who always make us welcome, and thank you as well to the footballers who let us share this nice place with them on  a Thursday, good to see that some are getting a kick out of the jazz, they do not hurry away after the game but stay and listen.

And  to all the friends who make the night .. you know who you are..what a lovely crowd that gathers together to listen to live jazz.   Nice to see you Mike and Bill as well, may get you up there again one day?

I will post the line up when Alan gets it together for next week, so if you want a good night out come and join us..

I will be posting a few other jazz functions as well..that are coming up, so keep looking in.
