Jazz Night…

Every time I do a little report on here, I always think how lucky we are to have such talented musicians to play for us each Thursday evening, and again Alan managed another line up which was once again terrific, so thank you to the Band what a great night.

Ron/Ray/ Dick on the front line, with Craig/Alan/Tony at the back …Simon singing for us… I am to old to put Wow on here, but Wow it was…

Non stop music… some different sounds thanks to Ray who organised the music for us…and although he said he was not good at taking charge he certainly did a good job. Good to hear him on Trumpet as well.

Ron what a player he is, always packs the place,  a joy to hear, as they all are …Trummy can get notes out of his trombone that should never be in there, as does Tony on bass and Alan on guitar and banjo…as for Craig well never heard a drummer like it great playing as always.

The crowd …well do not think we have had so many there, lots of new faces, so hope they enjoyed the evening, of course not enough chairs but thanks to Neil garden chairs and a stool helped, (my back still aches to old for sitting on a stool but did appreciate it) but everyone seemed to enjoy the music so suppose it did not matter too much.

Thanks as always to Heidi, what a grand job behind that bar, so busy…it was bad enough trying to get round to take the raffle money (which I thank all those who do have tickets and a special thanks to  those who dig deep as it does help to get these good musicians there for us all)

I am hoping my little video of Simon singing' Tangerine'  is ok will pop it on at a later date if it is. What great voice he was in …lovely Simon thank you so much.

I do hope that all those who are still unwell, get better soon so you can come back and enjoy the music.

Thanks again to all the musicians…
