Sole Bay Jazz with Guests…

Another good evening of live music last night at the Sports Pavilion Ditchingham…

It was good to see such a good if very talkative audience to support these fine musicians…and thank you for delving deep for the raffle which of course as you all know helps to get live music every Thursday evening. Also thanks to those who contribute prizes for the raffle which really helps.

Some great playing and again different with the mix and with some of the old favourites played … A nice happy band and some giggles, so thanks to you all.

No photos as 7 musicians and a singer not very close together would have been too much for my little camera!

Thanks to the stand in drummer Gary, you did well fitting in. nice fast fingers flowing from Ray on the piano, some guitar and banjo from Alan, nice to see him back, the Prof, on the double bass as always a star, Derek amazing chap really enjoys his playing, Bill who I thought played a super trombone, gets more notes out each time he plays, and Tim who as usual tries to take a back seat while heading the band! Simon for the great songs.

Heidi as always smiling and keeping the punters happy with the grog! some rather 'happier' than others!!!

As I said lovely songs last night Simon, very heartfelt, and the little talk about Keith's wake which is next Thursday, where it will be a  good night with the flavour of a fine man who was always there leading the following for live jazz music. We miss you Keith, but you will always be there in spirit of course. Great to see Sheila in her usual seat, and the family who are very close to us all as well as each other…a brave front  it must be hard I know but Keith would be proud.

Good friends …still a lot of regulars not able to attend because of illness, and some on holiday. 
But hope to see a good crowd next Thursday, and of course maybe quite a few to say a farewell to Keith at the Gorleston Crem at 1.20 and afterwards at the club where the family would love to see you to share happy memories… Oh yes and a bigger raffle!

Then an evening of live music Alan will give me the line up but is should be a ball!
