Sole Bay Jazz…

Another good night of Jazz music last evening at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham…with the Sole Bay Jazz Band.

Some really talented playing, from all and tunes have not heard for a while also some good songs, which made the evening fun as well, because the band members all were enjoying the music…

We had vocals from Tony P and Roy as well. 

I did take one photo, hoping young Fudge will send me some she took.

A good crowd came along to enjoy the music, and very happy to see that some of our regulars who have been ill returned. For those who I know are struggling at the moment with family members suffering we send you all our best and hope things will improve.

Thanks Heidi coping well as always. Also thanks to Jon who we 'borrow' the room from.

The raffle was another success thanks all of you who buy tickets each week, also for my lovely ticket folders, and for those who bring prizes to boost up the ones we buy from the kitty, it helps to keep the band playing each week for our pleasure. Next week hopefully even more prizes as it is Easter Week. And with a great line up which Alan will tell me shortly the full list. So hope to see another good crowd to support the live music.

Thanks as always to our great musicians…

A little piece of Simon singing and Ray playing, with apologies for me saying blast when poor Heidi brought the coffee! but still worth a look… Tony having a rest in the background!
Thanks to Simon and Ray…

Great Jazz Night!

Well that was a great night of talented playing and singing  from the Sole Bay Jazz Band and friends at The Sports Pavilion. Ditchingham…

A really good appreciative audience to support these fine musicians…Thanks Sole Bay a great night…

The line up gelled so well …I always have to say it …we are so lucky to have such a great venue with wonderful musicians every Thursday evening to play for us. We need more chairs I must admit especially with the line up that played last night! sorry for those who had to stand, and also for those who had to put up with a lot of talking while the musicians were doing solo parts, but I hope it did not spoil the music.

What a pleasure to hear Simon Denny perform for us again, come again soon Simon… and thanks to Ray who played beautifully while Simon sang a great number especially for Sheila his Mum. It was so good to see the family attending again, dear Keith would be so proud.

Heidi what a great job you always do,  it was busy and the smile is always there, so good to have such great friends that meet up each week…like an extended family. Lovely to see a few of the not so well ones coming along again, as always lots of good wishes to those still too unwell to attend.

Thanks as always for digging deep for the raffle,  poor Tim  always says it is a drag however he does a good job of calling the numbers out, and it is not like bingo!!! but think we could up the amount of prizes now as we get such good crowds, and thanks as always to those who put extra prizes in much appreciated. Sorry Tim!!!! I always tell people the raffle is for Alan to get such good musicians each week, and of course it is, but it is nice to see what pleasure and pain it is to see who wins each week. Great banter so thank you all.

A few photos, missed you off Tony sorry…and maybe a little bit of video later of Simon with Ray, not sure what it will be like.
