Jazz at the Club…

A nice crowd turned out to support the Jazz at The Conservative Club this Sunday lunchtime, not as many as usual. so a bit of a shame as one or two of the musicians were not feeling that good, so well done to them all. lets hope a few more turn up next month, you know what they say if you do not use it you will lose it, I always say that for the support on a Thursday night at Ditchingham, but maybe the weather stopped a few also coughs and colds.

Sad to see Chris and Jim are giving up the raffle and the MC's job at the Club but what a good long time they have been doing it…so thanks to them they have been great.

This week we had Roy and Ian on saxophones plus vocals …Barry piano and vocals…Craig on drums, and Mike on bass…

Lovely to see our crowd from Ditchingham coming over to cheer them all on, and a nice crowd of regular locals…

Sole Bay Jazz Jazz night…

How does the song go? "Empty Tables…Empty Chairs"……

But of course the weather was not good for travel, so you missed a great night at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham, thanks for all those who braved the icy roads and hopefully you all got home safely. (thanks Jan)

The Band played up a storm, with lots of different styles of playing…

Tim playing 3 different reeds, (not at the same time) Trummy with the trombone and arsonium, always so many notes…

Ray with flying fingers, and a great solo piano piece with Tony on bass and Dave Taylor giving us a little drum action! really good… 

Craig giving the drums a lot of stick and sounding great! With Alan on Guitar and Banjo  enjoying it all, Barry gave us a couple of vocals, may have to get him there a bit more as he does good our Man in Black with a Hat!

Good raffle thank you all for digging deep and for Clover and Chris for working well also getting some nice prizes, and for the 'boys' folding the tickets.

The Band had fun and so did we all, sorry about the Gin and Tonic Colin ha ha…but gave us a laugh…Great friends… 

I am so sorry dear Heidi felt so ill but you did well young lady to be there until the end of the evening hope you soon improve. Also Don hope you are better this morning. And for all those that could not make it there because of illness get well soon.

Sole Bay Jazz Band with Friends…

A good night of live music with some fun to entertain the fairly good crowd, (another frosty night of weather) hope everyone got home safe.

Some great playing and vocals and as I said some fun which always keeps the crowd amused.

Some different songs from Tony P and Barry made it a nice mix. Could not get Barry to look at me though so a sideways photo!

Well done Clover and Chris for the raffle, if anyone likes to donate prizes at anytime please get in touch as it all helps to support these musicians to come and play for us every Thursday night. Great that we can have such talent with no entrance fee… thank you all for digging deep as always. Thanks to the boys for folding the tickets.

Great smile Heidi thanks for your help.

Sole Bay Jazz Band 12th January…

Last evening I listened to the weather forecast and got rather worried about driving in my little KA as like me it is getting old! So sadly I did not get to the jazz, cannot remember the last time I missed a night with the Sole Bay Jazz but never mind, because my lovely friend has sent me a brief melee so thanks Fudge.

Her photos are better than mine as well!

" Not many folks at jazz which is a shame…
But Barry sang some songs with his own take on which made for interesting listening,…
Trummy on Trombone (the Euphonium sat on the floor all night) with his excellent sound…
Ray on the Piano great improv as usual. 
Alan on guitar and Banjo…Craig on the drums…Tony on the Bass…keeping the back line strong. Tim on Soprano and Tenor Saxophones plus Clarinet making some beautiful sounds…"

So certainly looks as though I missed a great night.

Thank you dear Fudge you are a star…

missed you Heidi x

Sole Bay Jazz and Guests…

Last evening at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham, a good crowd came along to support The Sole Bay Jazz Band, amazing really as it was very cold and icy on the roads, so pleased that so many turned up, and hope everyone got home safely.

A seven man line up, but for me I was a bit put off with all the decision making in between the music, ha ha but you all know me, it is just my opinion, and you also know that I have spent, and do spend, a lot of time promoting these talented Gentlemen! Just did not gel for me at times, however we had some great playing, just a bit of fun missing for me. Although cruel that we did have a giggle when Tony P had to do some lip sync because of microphone failure. sorry Tony you handled it well.

Having said that I know lots of coughs and colds about and well done to those who were under the weather either playing or watching, shows how appreciative you all are to turn out in all weathers.

Thanks to Clover and Chris for doing the raffle, and the 'boys' for folding the tickets…for Heidi behind the bar, lovely to meet up with friends and catch up.

Thanks of course to Alan who every week manages to get us the line up, it is not an easy job.

I took photos but they are not good however will pop them on.

I wish you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year and look forward to some great Thursday nights with the Sole Bay Jazz and friends…
