Norfolk Dixieland Jazz Band

Yesterday Sunday 1st April the Norfolk Dixieland Jazz Band played a really great lunchtime of music at the Diplomat in Coltishall , and  I was so happy to be there to witness it again.

Thanks Tim for taking me and for the lunch, and thanks as always to Jean, Judy and Ben for the company.

Liz was on the double bass again which she plays so well, with Peter on guitar/banjo, and a song or two you know how I love the guitar, Bill playing some great trombone, John on the cornet and vocals , Vic on drums, and Tim on clarinet and saxophone… nice solo Tim.

A few skiffle numbers also that Vic's relation played went down well with the audience, bringing some memories back of days of old.

I will leave it to Vic on his e mails to say if there will be a gig next month, it seems that there may be a lull in the proceedings, but it would be a shame as we really need good live music and there are not many venues about nowadays. I will say it has nothing to do with the band about the gigs, just the venue's owners who seem to be rethinking. sad news but I am sure if Vic has anything to do with it the band will find  another venue.

A lovely day out thanks to all.

Thanks Beryl for your nice comments about the NDJB. Its a great bunch of musicians and their friendliness, humour and, of course, talent made the gigs at The Diplomat such a success. The 1 April was, unfortunately, the last gig at the venue. Thanks for helping to let people know on your blog. I will keep people informed about a future regular date. If anybody would like to go on my emailing list please let me know at norfolkjazz@btinternet.com

Thanks and best wishes,
Vic.
