Sole Bay Jazz Band…

What a great night just like the old days with The Sole Bay Jazz Band …Thank you gentlemen it was really good and you must have felt the love in the room.

Some great music and lovely to see everyone in the band enjoying themselves. The solos were so talented also  rather good singing indeed from our Barry well done to everyone.
Tim…Trummy…Ray…Alan…Tony…Craig…Barry was as always a great line up.

Sadly not many people there, but maybe because of illness etc, so if you were unwell get better soon. If not where were you????But you missed some great live music and singing.

Great raffle as always Christine and Clover, with thanks to Don, Colin and Duncan for folding tickets.

Lovely Emily always smiling and thanks for your help.

Just to remind you that The Sole Bay Jazz Band will be having their last gig at Sports Centre on December the 19th 2019… restarting on the 9th of January 2020.

A special guest for next week…

Sole Bay Jazz Band with Friends

Lovely to see a bigger crowd last evening at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham, still so many away with illness so sending you all a get well soon wish.

A good evening of varied music, and a little fun! (yes Ray) ha ha …

Tim on his saxophones and clarinet…and Derek still able to sit on the stool and play music from his large book of words …was not quite sure how The Private Eye book had a reason for being there… but it made me giggle … some great playing from our back line Tony…Alan and some nice drumming young Craig… Ray setting the piano alight… good vocals from Barry as well… 

Second half I was so happy to see that the band were good to ask young Henry to play… such a talented young man and not at all phased that he was playing with some great musicians …and thanks Ray and all for encouraging him…I know he looks in on here, so well done Henry always a pleasure to hear you play it always moves me. 

Thanks to one and all for digging deep for the raffle thanks Don and Jan for folding the tickets…Christine and Clover do a grand job each week and Tim with 'Loverly Biscuits' always makes us laugh…thank to you all as the raffle and the bar help to have live music each week.

Fudge has some good photos on the FB Sole Bay site, I have some which will add when had time to down load them, as my dear camera is not modern as the i phones! and as always I apologise for the flash!!!

Look forward to seeing another good crowd next week to enjoy live music as not long until Christmas and New Year when the band will be having a break.

Some photos…

Sole Bay Jazz night…

A lovely evening of Jazz …Blues and Fun at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham with The Sole Bay Jazz Band and friends… much more like the past times.

Tim playing saxophone/clarinet really good …Trummy with Trombone and Euphonium…Craig looking refreshed and playing some great drums…Alan busy on guitar/banjo and looking happy…Tony on that double bass sounding so good with Barry on piano and vocals very nice indeed.

Lots of music Barry was not used to as Tim picked some really different tunes however Trummy and Alan on hand to help also Tim being him managed to keep things light saying also a lot of keys that Barry wanted to play in they did not know! and it was a fun night everyone in the band seemed to gel so well, so a real pleasure.

I was a bit grumpy because some loud talking when the solos were being played, but always get reminded that it is a social night ha ha old school me!

Sadly a lot of our (old school) folk are off ill at the moment, so from all your Jazz Friends get better soon take care of yourselves and come back when you can.

A small crowd but those of you who were there dug deep for the raffle and as usual  Clover and Christine did a grand job of that.

Thanks Emily always a smile and a help.

Thanks band it was a really good night… think Tony will have some videos and Fudge has photos on FB mine did not come out well but will post one anyway.
