Time certainly flies nowadays, and the Thursdays come around very fast, November this week, and Alan has got another good line up for us fans of live Jazz Music…

Tim Densham…clarinet/saxophone…Bill Brewer…trombone…

a visit from Mike Daniels…trumpet/cornet…

Tony Jullings…string bass…Alan Cugnoni…banjo/guitar…

 Talking of weather "Sandy" (no not our Sandy)…seems to be causing a lot of problems so hope 

all American people and animals keep safe.

FOOTWARMERS…

Yesterday, Sunday 28th at the Beccles Conservative Club the Footwarmer line up was very good.

Mike…Roy…Ian…Tony…Dave…Bill… Peter…

Gave us some really great live music, and a load of fun as well, so thanks Gentlemen

very entertaining.

Photos not that great and everyone was smiling a lot more than photos show!

Great to see the dancing, and every one having a sing song as well, but Romping Roy usually manages to get people going when he sings.

You all played well,  thank you Peter you are such a good guitar player, lovely solos,  I am rather partial to guitar playing as you know and since the age of about 9 and 11 my Sons have played in several bands over the  years and we have enjoyed many good nights out listening to them.

Everyone is welcome on these occasions to enjoy a great Sunday lunchtime so next one there is the last Sunday of the month, come and have some fun with a friendly crowd of people…

with live music…

Sole Bay Jazz…Simply The Best…

Last night at the Pavilion the Sole Bay Jazz Band let their hair down certainly, although always good, they were rather extra special last night… Thank you Gentlemen a great night of live music, and lots of fun…

Again another different night of music, some tunes we have not heard for a while, lovely solos, as well as great harmony…

Tony…Tim…Craig…Ray…Alan…Derek…

Ray

There was a really lovely crowd of people to cheer the musicians on, and they showed their appreciation , lovely for the band to have such feed back as they certainly played some great music…

Thanks as always to Heidi a great asset to the night.

Do not forget click on the photos to enlarge them, as I still have not got the hang of my new computer to size them the same.

I really will have to record a video again soon, wish I had done so last night so those who could not make it there could have heard the sound.
 It was great thank you…

Derek

Tony some lovely string Bass…Alan C on Banjo and Guitar…

Tim great playing as always, and a lovely favourite solo of mine on sax…

Really nice to see Sheila and Keith even with all their  health problems they turn up and support the band, and there are many who come to the Thursday nights who make up the great friendly feeling, music certainly is the food of life, and so thank you Sole Bay  for supplying another  different Jazz night.

Nice to see some more new faces, I think if everyone turned up to one night we would be packed out! hope those on holiday will return next week, and thanks as always to Heidi who has always got a smile and looks after us all.

We will soon have been at the Pavilion for a year, and how it has flown, Thanks to Jon and Marilyn who have made us welcome, and we look forward to a continuation of the jazz there for the future.

There may be a few goodies on our "birthday" as well …certainly I have had a little secret look into the line up for the night  and it is not to be missed.

The sound was very good and some great vocals from Simon and Barry L.

Also you all know how I love the guitar and Mick plays a real mean one , very good Mick loved it…

But loved it all Lin is a wiz on her Sax… Simon and her always look like they enjoy singing together … and this week with Barry B on his Sax they blended so well…

Tony as always so great on his string bass…Craig on the drums with an ear bashing solo which everyone had been asking for…

Barry you get better and better with each hearing great playing and vocals…

What a lovely long walk from the common to the pier and back into town, great company, a wonderful yummy lunch and a walk by the harbour, ending up at the museum and it was open so a good look round there, then back along the harbour…

Thanks Tim for a great day out really loved it, so glad you had the idea, good to think of me…hope you enjoyed it as much as me, and also thank you for our lovely lunch and all the information about Southwold I did not know.

Footwarmers on Sunday…

Barry joined the band this Sunday…

Sunday  lunchtime at Beccles Conservative Club the Footwarmers played jazz for a nice crowd.
Maybe to start with the music did not quiet gel, as a different line up again but as everyone was having such a good laugh about it all… and it is live music so we expect a few little errors.

So thanks everyone for a fun Sunday lunchtime…
 I seem to have missed the leader of the band Mike of the photos so apologies Mike will catch you next time…

Chris giving us some trombone also vocals…  a smile from Dave…

 

 

Bill playing and singing some good numbers…and Barbara …

Great fun girls with the brollies to "Pennies from Heaven"
