SOLE BAY JAZZ BAND…

This Thursday the 15th November at the Pavilion, Ditchingham The Sole Bay celebrates a birthday!

It is a year since the Band started playing at the 'new venue', for which I know they would want me to thank everyone for all the support you have given them.

No one knew whether the venue would work out …after all they played at the Tally Ho for nearly 25 years until it closed, then a couple of years at another public house, so a change to a Sports Club was very different, but Jon, Marilyn and Heidi welcomed them and us fans, and have continued to make it a very pleasant place to go and listen to some wonderful live jazz music.

As it happened the big space has proven to be so much more easier for everyone to be together to listen, I must admit the regular fans seem to have found their own space, and it has been great to find there is room for lots of new fans who now attend, in fact we sometimes laugh that we need more space, however it is very cosy even when full, and it has been known that some have brought their own garden chairs! and a folding table… how good is that…

This week we have a line up of…

Tim Densham…Clarinet/Saxophone…Dick Mayhew…Trombone…

Allan Bradley…Trumpet…Ray Simmons…Piano… Tony Jullings…String Bass…

Alan Cugnoni…Banjo/Guitar…Craig Hipperson…Drums…

But we are sure there will be some great players to add to these fine musicians, and some singers…

There will be some "nibbles" available  thank you for the folk who have agreed to help provide these.

So do come along and enjoy an evening of great live music with such wonderful friends and forget your cares and worries for a few hours …

We say it all the time we are so lucky to have such fine musicians so close to home.

8pm-10.30pm
