Sole Bay Jazz Band Evening…

Yet another great evening of live music with the Sole Bay Jazz Band and Friends, at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham.

Sadly not many people turned out …but as the weather was not good and some people were not well or on holiday it was not a surprise…however those of us who were there were treated to a great night of Jazz and lots of fun. A good line up with Tim…Bill…Barry…Craig…Alan…Tony….

Lots of different music and Barry fitted in very well again with piano and voice, and that voice gets  better each time, Tim likes to try different music and they certainly had us all enjoying the variety. Great drumming from Craig, Tony on that bass always so good, Alan guitar and banjo, Bill he makes such great melodic music, Tim as always knowing all about the composers and having some laughs with us all as well, Barry as I said in his element entertaining us.

Tony put a little video up on FB which shows some of the great playing, the audience showed lots of appreciation  and it was well deserved. So thanks Sole Bay you did good again.

Thank you one and all for again digging deep for the raffle which help with these fine musicians to entertain us each week…Clover you did really well  …thanks to Don and Duncan for the ticket folding.

Emily smiling behind the bar and looking after us all…

Happy Anniversary to Irene and Mike hope you enjoyed your evening.

Really good  sitting in front of the band and last night our dear friend Stella came along so thanks to Rose for bringing her, been a year since she has been able to come along and she sits cheering the band on, never still and loving the music always a joy.

It is such a great friendly evening, and we do miss a lot of dear friends who are looking down each week, and to those who are not able to come along because of ill health we send our best wishes to one and all.

Thanks Fudge good photo on FB. A few of mine here…was so wrapped up in the music did not take many…

Hello! Thanks for the mention to my Mum and Dad (Irene and Michael Oxborough) this week. I've just found out they are planning to come on 21st March, their actual 60th Wedding Anniversary, so if you are able to play something special for them with our love, that would be wonderful. Lesley, Chris and Max.

Great to hear from Lesley that Irene & Mike will be with us on their actual anniversary. We did try to get something played for them last week but perhaps this did not register with the person concerned? Hopefully it will be rectified this Thursday with you on the case Beryl! Just had a thought...does this mean there will be MORE cake?!!!
Lovely picture of Stella - hadn't realised it has been so long since she last came.
