Great night of Jazz…

 Good morning Jazzers…

What a great night of live music again at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham…

Thank you to those who ferried JJ and me back and forth, so thankful, and also so sad that not many folk were able to come along, not sure if it is transport or illness, but hope that next week a few more will be able to join us again, and enjoy a great evening of talented music, amongst our lovely crowd of Jazzers. Nice to have Barry back singing as well. You managed a good smile there Fudge!

 We are all getting on in age, and seems a shame that a few younger people are not so into jazz, however let us hope they will find time to come along and join the Happy Band of Jazzers, and support our musicians.

Thanks to Clover and Christine for the raffle…and Janice for folding the tickets…Fudge again making it all fun, and she told me she gets the names of  colours for the tickets from a paint chart, ha ha, some great names, always bring a giggle…

Kelly keeping the drinks going behind the bar with a smile…

Lots of good photos from Fudge which I will pop on here, and Tony was busy making videos, so we can listen again.

Good morning Jazzers…

 Thanks to those who did manage to get to the Sole Bay Jazz live music night, and a huge thank you for those who take JJ and me each time. 

I appreciate how hard it is now a lot of us are older but who love the Jazz nights. as we love to support these fine musicians , sadly only about 40 there last evening, but as always those 5 musicians and two singers, gave us a great evening as always.

Thanks to Clover (hope you soon feel better Christine) Janice for the ticket folding…Fudge for the fun raffle… Kelly for the bar work…

Sorry also that my Halloween evening didn't get noticed on here, but us on the Coven table as always had a great time…food and pumpkins, lights, sadly we none of us could find our witches hats… but Neil managed to find his.  Never to old  to enjoy a laugh. 

Thanks as always to Fudge for the great photos… Tony for driving a long way to do the videos, but you know how we all love them.

Halloween night!

  • I called this week Halloween, as we always used to try and make it a special night, especially the table I always called the Coven table, where I am now part of, sadly not as many left now, but l hope that we can mange to get there, and think of everyone who  used to be at the Jazz nights…

I did post this in a past post, and I do hope the following photos bring back memories and no doubt will be told off as some are not great, think it was when I had my old camera. But the clear ones were probably taken by Neil.










This week the 28th of October… line up will be

TIM DENSHAM…RAY SIMMONS…ALAN COGNONI…

CRAIG HIPPERSON…MICK BETTS…

BAR…RAFFLE…

Great night of Jazz…

Good morning Jazzers, late on here this morning… but got some lovely photos thanks as always to Fudge…

Really good evening of good old Jazz with the Sole Bay, and nice to see a better crowd, and also some new folk looking in, spoke to one of the young ladies and she said they would come again… so hoping we can encourage more to come and listen to these talented musicians.  

Nice for Kelly as a busier bar this week …Thanks to Chris and Clover for the raffle and Janice for folding the tickets!!! Fudge as always making it fun…and of course Tim thinking up new names for the colour of the tickets!!!

Thanks as always for JJ for organising our lifts and the lovely folk that ferry us back and forth. as so good to meet up with our lovely friends…a pleasure to hear the Jazz.

Sad…

 Sadly another of our lovely family of Jazzers has passed away this morning, so joining those of those already up there looking down on us.

Thanks to Duncan for letting me know that his Brother Colin has passed this morning, and he wanted me to pop it on here.

I only put a photo up the other day with Colin on, and I have found two lovely ones of the brothers from way back. One serious  (which they hardly ever were) Because we all had such great fun at the jazz, I was always taking photos in those days Of those two and Don as well.

Lovely memories and sending the biggest hug Duncan as I know how much you will miss him.
