Sole Bay Jazz Band…

The Sole Bay Jazz Band played last evening at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham, with a rather nice amount of people to cheer the band on, lovely when we get a nice lot of chairs filled. 

A slow start while the band decided what to play which would be the right key that everyone knew … and then it blossomed, some really great music had not heard some of the tunes for a while so a good different feel. Thanks.

Everyone played so well, pity Tim had a jinx on his saxophones, however the clarinet got a good outing…Ray tinkling on the keys… Trummy lots of notes from the trombone and the euphonium …Tony on the string bass …Alan on guitar…and Craig giving the drums a good work out… and again throwing the stick away…then Jenny decided she would sing a couple of numbers, well done Jenny we love to hear you again.

Thanks to Clover and Christine for doing the raffle and for the 'boys' who fold all those tickets. and of course you all for digging deep to support the band…Also thanks Emily for your happy face, and looking forward to seeing the outfit next week!!!

Next week  …Christmas Party Time …so Bah Humbug hats and lots of Christmas jumpers and food, each table bring their own although we and several other tables will have enough for those who we usually bring for. So hope to see a good crowd, Alan is planning a good line up to cheer everyone up.  Maybe we will see Simon Denny and family??????

There will be extra prizes in the raffle so thanks to all those people who have donated to this as well.

Another little gem is that Ron Hockett is out of hospital after his successful lung transplant. Ray will hopefully send me copies of letters he received have not been able to get them on here but will keep trying.

Lovely to see Robin gaining strength getting good at the beer drinking again, Lovely to see Fudge make you behave! hope all goes well at the hospital and it is good news.

A few photos and Fudge has some good ones on SBJ Face Book…and Duncan thanks for that not so great photo of Fudge and me taking pictures…naughty…






Just got this from Ray cannot get letter on yet but all is well.


Well done love and good luck for the further journey to good health xx
