The Sole Bay Band and Friends were on top form, some rather different music that we had not heard for a while, and of course the wonderful skill of the musicians who made it so good on the ears.
A good crowd and some new faces, as well as some of the regulars, this bug thing has certainly taken its toll on us regulars, but glad to say I am at last have improving health, so hope all those who are suffering soon get better, lots of coughs around last night, but the music cheered us up.
No vocals last night, but it certainly did not bother us as the musicians were, as I said, in full flow.
Lovely to see Tony J back again, take care with those eyes…Craig was replaced with Dave on the drums, who we all thought did a grand job, Alan feeling better as well, so he strummed away happily.
Bill as always thinking he is not up to playing with these musicians , which of course he is, and played really good trombone. Tim as always playing some great solos, and Ray leading the band with the trumpet last night had a great list of music and made sure everyone got into the mood, which they certainly did. We also had a visit from Mark Adams who is a fabulous bass player, some great playing on Tony's string bass!!! very nice thank you!
So thank you Sole Bay Band you made us all feel good.
Thanks to Heidi for working hard behind that bar with always a smile, and Fudge, thanks for being a friend! Thanks to all my lovely friends who attend the jazz always good to chat to everyone, which of course I did last night as I was back on the raffle, thanks JJ for doing it for me while I was unable to. Also Keith for doing the hard work with the raffle while feeling ill, we appreciate it. of course to Jan who again drove us to the jazz, will miss you next week.
Get well soon to all those feeling ill and looking forward to next week line up which I will put on here when Alan sends it to me, Alan works hard to bring us a good group of musicians each week to play for us so thanks Alan…
