Sole Bay Jazz night…

I am not sure where to start this week on here, firstly will say a huge thank you to the wonderful Sole Bay Jazz  Band and the magical  evening of music and fun, it was just like the old days, lots of talented playing and so good to have Simon to sing for us again, all the band supplied us (who were there  still empty seats …you missed a good one)! with an evening to remember, not that they do not always play wonderful music but sometimes it is extra special.

Well done Gentlemen our back line is something every band would want and last night they played up a storm…Ray played some magic on the piano as well as giving us a chance to hear the trumpet again…Tim as always talented and last night really enjoying the night, Martin what a player next time sing for us???

One of the 3 things Tim had to say about some good news… that Martin had come along to play with the band again …come again soon please loved when Tim and you were playing together…Simon being able to come along and bring his voice to the evening, great duet with Ray for one of my favourite songs…and that Ron Hockett had got his new lung, so now we wish him well for it to all continue to improve his health (Ray is sending me the letter he received from Ron and family which I will put on here for those who did not read it last night).

But I will continue good news, as what a pleasure to see Sheila back sitting at the band table with Kim  and looking so well, with Simon …also Robin although still very sore he joined them, lovely to see him enjoying his beer! hope it helped the pain. 

It is sometimes so sad to see the band table without the  folk  who used to be there, I know sometimes we have others that sit there, but last night was so nostalgic … we have lost a lot of great fans over the years, and I was remembering them last night as the band was playing as I am sure a lot of you were. They will always be with us in spirit that is for sure.

What a great crowd as well …thanks for digging deep for the raffle, and of course the boys for the ticket folding, Christine and Clover doing a great job, and lovely prizes as always.

Emily behind the bar, smiling as always…

I took a few photos camera does not like the lights …but Fudge has some on Face Book…as well as a couple of videos from Simon on there.

Thanks again to everyone for a great evening.
