Well done Fudge on your delving into the bands past… coming along nicely, and I may be able to get some videos to you, David is going to help me next week!

Christmas evening with the Band…

 That was a great Christmas evening of jazz with the Sole Bay Jazz Band , always brilliant, but extra special last night.

Very nice to at last see some different faces coming along, hopefully when the New Year starts, they will have realised that the Band is not just for Christmas!!!! more folk we have seen for ages. Nice for Kelly behind the bar with a busy evening.

Great to see Les and June back with Les  nearly back to his lovely self after his fall, their Son brought them, and of course JJ and I are really pleased that her Son took us and Sandy and Neil brought us home.

Thanks to Chris and Clover for the raffle, and Fudge for her great fun when the numbers are called out!!!

Tim did a lot of 'thanks ' to everyone,. But I would like to say a great big 'thank you' to him from us all,   for every week standing to play such melodic music for us, Alan on the Banjo and Guitar, who manages to makes sure he gets the guests, Ray who makes that piano sing, Mick on that bass sounding good…!!! Bill played as always so well,  a pleasure to see him there, and of course Craig who like all drummers sits at the back keeping the beat, some good solos last night. How lucky are we.

Thanks to Amanda who came along to sing, loved the Christmas one at the end, very nice. Geoff gave us some harmonica music, so thanks to all.

Another thanks as always to Fudge for the photos, oh wish I had taken some when Tim, Bill and Ray had their Christmas hats on! looked good…

Lovely company at the Coven table with a nice lot of food…also  thanks for all my cards and hugs !!!

 Hopefully in the New Year we will see some good crowds coming along to enjoy exceptional playing from the band… January 2025 on the 6th…
