Sole Bay Jazz Band…

Well that was a very quiet night in many ways for The Sole Bay Jazz Band playing at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham…

Would like to thank everyone who did come along to support the band, but the numbers were very much down, however a nice pleasant evening with good company and some rather nice music… 

Lovely to hear Jenny sing again, it takes a lot of effort for her to say she will sing, but I do hope she loved the fact that we so very much love her, and appreciate her efforts, so thank you Jenny well done and do not leave it as long next time. Nice that Fudge got a nice photo on FB of her.

Also great was that Robin managed to come back to the jazz and how good it was to see him, all aches and pains, but that beer looked like it was worth waiting for…and some great giggles…

As Tim mentioned the 'bah humbug of Christmas' last night …thought I would put that the band will be playing the last of the year on the 20th December, so bring goodies if you would like to and  there will be an extra special raffle as well. Then next year the band will start on January 3rd.

Thanks to Clover and Christine for the raffle, lots of groans from those who did not pick up a prize but we like them to be good prizes …thanks go as always to the 'boys' who fold the tickets each week.

Lovely to see Emily with her lovely smile ( reminds me of Heidi) thanks for your help Em…

Hope those who look in on here and on Fudges Sole Bay Jazz post on Face Book… pass the word around, as it does take effort as well as talent to have live music played for us each week, and you know what they say 'if you do not use it you lose it', so please let's get back to the nights where we could not find a spare chair and support the fine musicians that come along every week for us .

Another very good night of live music from The Sole Bay Jazz Band at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham .

Lovely to hear some great playing from all the band  and I really enjoyed the evening, as I hope the nice sized crowd did as well, and very entertaining when Chris Capocci came along and gave us some of his old magical songs…So good to see everyone in the band having a good time, it certainly gelled well so thanks to one and all.

Great raffle thanks Christine and Clover, and for 'the boys' for the ticket folding. Of course for you all for supporting the raffle thank you…

Lovely to see Emily back from her trip abroad…

I do hope all of the folk who are under the weather soon feel much better and coming along to jazz again. Nice to know Robin is progressing in the JPH hopefully will soon be fit enough to go home.

Sole Bay Jazz Band evening

There was only five players and one singer plus a guest for a couple of numbers, however the Sole Bay Jazz Band played up a storm at the Sports Pavilion Ditchingham last evening…

So good that the players were able to give us some great music and nice singing from Barry, plus Ray gave us a couple of numbers on drums, nice as he may come in handy when Craig is on overload with his day job.

Tim on Saxophone and Clarinet…love that Baritone he made lots of laughs with his comments as always, Derek bless him still going strong and blowing well at nearly 91 but still worry about him on that stool! Craig as always those Drums were going well and Tony good to have him back on his Bass, did you doze Tony? Alan on Guitar and Banjo letting it all flow! Our man in black with a hat which makes it hard to photograph with those lights!

So a good night.

Sorry to see so few people there such a shame as live music is the only way to go and without the crowd we could lose it, so come along and enjoy a good evening of live music please let's keep this going, after 7 years at Ditchingham we need the fans to come along.

Good raffle thanks Clover and Christine and to the 'boys' for all the ticket folding.

Thanks Kim for the smiles behind the bar and for helping with the change.

"I would like to add on here  a message from Tim …that one of our great players Tony Parsons who had been recovering well has had a set back, so we all wish him the best of health and come back soon. As many of you know Tony plans gigs at The Angel in Halesworth once a month, and they would like to carry on there, so at the moment the next dates will be Sunday lunch time the 25th November and the 30th December, hope a nice lot of jazz fans will go along to keep this going. We do need live music…"

Sole Bay Jazz Band happy evening…

Cannot believe it was the 7th Anniversary that the Sole Bay Jazz Band has been playing at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham, so much has happened since we have been there, so first I want to say a huge big thank you to all the members and guests who have come along every week to play such talented Jazz for us all.

We have lost a lot of our lovely folk who have followed the Sole Bay Band for many years, but we do not stop thinking about them when we sit listening to the band.

Also the fact that the raffle plus what  Jon gives us from the bar has ensured we have a good line up each week, thanks Alan for always finding the line ups, so a big thank you for all those who give generously every week. 
When years ago  at the Buck Keith asked me to start the raffle to keep the band going I did not think it would bring such good results how much you have all helped, then since Christine and Clover took the raffle over you have continued to give and give …so thank you all from me and the Band.

Thanks to June and Les who had a nice full table full of food this week, when we started in 2011 we did do a lot of food for everyone , but now it is better that each table brings food if they want it, the coven table always manages that  as well, and Jon is happy for people to do it.

A good night last night of jazz and a few vocals from Barry which were great… so thanks to all the band.

Thanks to Clover and Christine for the good raffle lovely prizes as always, as well the 'Boys' were back to fold the tickets this week again.
Kim doing a fine job behind the bar, thanks for your help with the change.

Fudge has given me permission to tell you how our Marathon man Robin is …as last night he was hit by a car whilst out running with the Black Dog runners,  so we are all upset about that, he has a small skull fracture. broken collar bone and broken leg, so I am sure you will all be with me to wish him a quick recovery and soon come back to listen to the jazz with us all. Get well soon Robin, and love to your wife who must be worrying.

A couple of photos Fudge has some good ones on FB as well. and a good one of Tony looking up from his double bass! I was too slow to catch that!
