Sole Bay Jazz and Guests…

What a great evening of Jazz /Blues and enjoyment at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham with the Sole Bay Jazz Band and guests.

Tim with saxophones and clarinet teaming with Derek on the front line, with Ray on the piano…Alan  guitar/banjo…Craig drums and Tony on his string bass…our wonderful back line… put it together with Barry (even though still not fully recovered) sang some rather yummy songs, joining them (and thank you sole bay) to invite Henry our young saxophonist giving him another chance to play with such a talented band …lovely to see the young with the hhhmmmm older? together.

A very entertaining evening and lovely to see a good crowd coming to support the band, digging deep with the raffle, thanks to Christine and Clover for your hard work and of course Duncan and Don for folding the tickets.

Emily our cheerful beauty behind the bar keeping everyone happy with that smile.

I was so carried away with the music I  forgot to to take photos until rather late, so did manage a few missed Barry (sorry) but may borrow some later from Fudge who has some good ones on her FB SBJ post.

There have been some posters made hoping to encourage and reach more folk to come along and enjoy the band, although I do not have many comments on here I still  like to post as know a lot of people do look in, even though sometimes I feel I am just doing it for me!!!! and Fudge does her posts on FB. So please when you are out and about pass the word around about the Sole Bay Jazz Band evenings as one knows if you do not use it you lose it.

Must get Tony to look up more!


could not resist that smile


Looks like Henry has a hat! sorry.

Sole Bay Jazz Band…

Great night of music on Thursday at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham… with The Sole Bay Jazz Band.

The band always play some really good music with this line up …sadly missed Barry singing, hopefully he will be back next week…but some favourites played and they all looked as though they were enjoying themselves. Remembering a few people who loved some of the music played on Thursday…we like to feel they are still listening up there.

Not many people attending, but those who were there appreciated  the wide election of  music played…
Hope that a lot more can make their way to hear the band next week.

Thanks Christine and Clover for the lovely raffle keeping everyone cheerful… those who were there dug deep to support the band, and our boys did the ticket folding as they do so well each week.

Thanks Tim for playing some requests, as always very upbeat. nice to see the Cornet having an outing Ray! 

Thanks Emily for your happy face and for helping me.

Hope all who are unwell soon feel better and get back to jazz night!

A few photos …Fudge has some nice ones on FB page.

Apologies for lateness putting this on but got here in the end.

Sole Bay Jazz Band …

A very good start to the year 2020 with The Sole Bay Jazz Band playing at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham. last evening.

Always a good mix with this line up and a very happy go lucky amount of music and singing gave the nice amount of fans who came to support the band …a very enjoyable evening.

Lots of loud talking at the back,  but as always it is a social evening, just wish people wouldn't mind being a little more silent when there is a solo, but hope it did not spoil the music for the people nearest. We really enjoyed all the music at the front! and the company …So thank you to our talented players it was a good night.

I am pleased to say the ring Clover found before Christmas was given back to the owner last night, so a good outcome.

Thanks as always to Christine and Clover for providing the raffle, and of course to you all who do dig deep to help support the band. Our three 'boys' folding those tickets our thanks as well.

Lovely Emily providing the service at the bar and for the help she gives me, always a pleasure, like our Heidi used to be. Makes a difference when the bar is manned by smiling faces.

Sending a get well message to any of our fans who are under the weather and hope to see you all soon, we are so lucky to have live music played for us every week. So although I do not get many comments on here I know a lot of people do look in, so come along and join in the evenings of music.

A couple of photos and as always Fudge has some good ones on FB Sole Bay Jazz.
