Sole Bay Jazz …

Another great night of live music at the Sports Pavilion…Ditchingham…

Somewhat different this week we have posh stands with music on them! It did seem so strange to see Craig and Tony reading the music as they had to have their heads in a strange position! however Derek had done the scores and they stuck to them,  very pleasant …I have a preference of them playing as they feel like, but that is just me, beautifully performed though, and with the 3 clarinets playing on the front row, suppose had to make sure they were all playing the same arrangement. 

Loved that Craig got his solo in, those drums come alive with him…

Everyone  is a very talented musician, and I really like what ever they choose to do.

Joining them for a few numbers, another very talented guitarist, oh and you all know how I love the guitar, and John thank you it was so lovely to hear you play, please can you come again, I loved that you were looking and listening to Alan and playing to his chords, as my Sons both played guitar, and how they loved and appreciated other musicians talent.

This week with Tim and Derek, Craig, Tony and Alan were the wonderful Ron Hockett and Ray Simmons both have such a great musical background, how lucky are we that all these musicians come to play for our pleasure, thank you all.

So we had a great crowd of well behaved people! sorry if I upset anyone last week saying about the noise, but it is my blog! and my opinion, but so nice to have an audience that appreciates the music. and what a crowd, I had a hard job getting round to everyone,, and thank you all for digging deep for the raffle, as it does so help the band to continue coming to entertain us all…

Roy came up and gave us some vocals as well, that gets the crowd going! whoops that sounds bad, not out the door I hasten to add!
Nice bright colours!

John

Neil always finds me a good shot…
Great to have Heidi serving the bar always such a smile and lovely to see her back…



Thanks again to one and all, hopefully see you all next week…live music keeps you young!!! As all us oldies know…Well we are all only old on the outside, inside we are young……This excludes all the young ones who come along, you are young in and out!

Sole bay went up a notch last Thursday. Absolutely fabulous listening and great to watch such talent interact and gel.

Well worth the trip and the raffle tickets.
