Sole Bay Jazz 3rd April…

What a great night of live music and fun…

Have a lot of  'thanks' to put on here this week……

Thanks Jan for taking me and of course thanks to all the good wishes about my eye,, which is great, felt a bit strange wearing sunglasses, but being a very short sighted person, and having to wait 4 weeks for eye to settle down and have new spec! , must take care as eyes are precious. Great that Jean is doing well with her new eye! and good luck for the end of April when she has the other one done.

Thanks of course to dear Jazz Janet who has taken  on the raffle for me…

Now enough about me …

A really good crowd came along to listen to the Sole Bay and they were not disappointed …and that includes our little 'crowd' our table gets bigger by the week… But will either have to move our chairs up a bit (are you reading this Les??? or the band will have to go back a bit as that post certainly blocks the view.…

A group of talented musicians making it again a bit different. of course Craig gave us some very good drumming, and Ray on Piano tinkling the ivories…Derek what a player. Allan gave us some vocals as well as cornet and trumpet, Tony on bass, mmm very nice, Alan on guitar and banjo keeping the beat…Tim as always our main stay a great musician and witty with it! some great music all round thank you all…I hope you the band …enjoyed it as much as everyone there…

To add to the night we also had our Roy singing, and a new one from him, very classy Roy …think Derek might have had a hand in the arrangement? anyway it was good, then our Jenny, a nice quiet one to start with, and then' Hard Hearted Hannah' wow Jenny well done, as you could tell by the applause, you know how we all admire you for your determination to fight your illness and you can have a gold star for last night!

Heidi as always such a worker, and that lovely smile thank you…

So if you missed the night, (as I had to last week) sorry but you missed a good one…

Hopefully some photos next week…

Certainly was an exceptional night - Roy's rendition of 'You've changed' was great & what can I say about Jen's 'Hard Hearted Hannah'? Neil has been badgering her to sing this for years & she finally gave in. When he realised (eventually!) he was grinning from ear to ear. Well done, Jenny, that should keep him quiet for a bit! Ray's great 'saloon' style touches, an added bonus. Thanks everyone.
