Jazz at Ditchingham…

Ignore the line up from the last jazz post… it did not turn out quite the same…this week at the Sports Pavilion Ditchingham, we had a great line up in the end…suddenly no drummer, but the gentlemen  that played for us turned the evening into a very different but rather yummy playing and singing time…

We had our Tony Parsons again playing and singing…with him on the front line Martin Eaton who had not played for us before …please come again… you gave us a great bit of entertainment as well as the spectacular singing of Skylark so thank you for that. Ray Simmons decided to sit in the middle instead of the side so that again was different, Mick Betts thanks for coming again Mick great bass playing. and Alan Cugnoni who got the line up altogether. Our Barry the man in black who wears a hat sang really well even without the hat!!! amazing how they all gelled together so well. So thank you all so much.

Lovely to see a good crowd, and once again thank you for digging deep to support the band.

Thanks also to Clover and Christine for doing the raffle and the boys for folding the tickets.

We did have a little confusion when the amp of Ray's played up and we all thought it was the microphones again however Alan has got lovely new mikes so all was well in the end.

My little niggle once again how sad I was that people near us did talk loudly through most of the night, so if you read this please we do like to hear the band, that is why we sit at the front…we all chat but not constantly we love to see you but if you talk please talk softly. It is a social club but when these fine musicians come to entertain us it is not nice for them to be talked over.

Thanks Mia lovely smiles …





Now next week the 18th we have the benefit evening for Ron Hockett, who sadly has to have a huge operation in USA, I know the band has got some good surprises for us for the evening to try and give some help for Ron as of course they have not got our NHS there. So we will wish him well and have a good evening to see what we can do. So put it in your diary's please.
