Just posted this on my "stitching bints blog", thought I would put it on here as well in case everyone thinks I just have jazz posts now!!

Nice and cosy for the evenings! ha ha not the image my friends at jazz have of me..

Now that is finished can start on the Christmas cake decorations.

Jazz

Well seems I missed a really good night at the jazz on Thursday evening, really sorry not to have been there... but well done to all who made it I hear that the Sole Bay guys played a great night of music..

Really hope the weather improves by next week.

The musicians playing next week will be Alan Cugnoni..banjo and guitar..Neil Kane..drums

Tony Jullings..double bass..Tim Densham..sax and clarinet

Derek Cubitt..reeds ..Ray Symonds..trumpet..

So another great line up, just hope we can all make it there, do not want to miss another night of jazz and meeting up with all the lovely people who follow the lads.

Fed up me!

Had to miss jazz last night because of the weather and a very bad head yesterday, so hoping that one of the folk will let me know how it went.

It was so strange to spend the evening not being there with friends and listening to the great music. Hope you all had a good time and looking forward to next week.

Had spent so much time making sure everyone had all they needed early in the week, as the snow was not as bad, then got stuck in for a couple of days, but had plenty of phone calls and e mails from friends who were unable to get out as well....never mind hoping to get to the shops today but the road looks pretty icy out there.

The pavements and the road up here are shocking, maybe our council thinks that we do not matter, I was hoping that all the fit people without jobs who are on benefit could get out with some sand and salt and help clear the paths, but I suppose Health and Safety would not allow that.. I wonder where all out council and road tax is going this year?

Better not moan any more, but getting old is not good in this weather.. take care all who venture out in the ice and snow.. keep safe and warm..

Jazz ..Flixton Buck 2nd December 2010

Alan has just sent me the list of the Sole Bay Jazz members playing on Thursday night at the Buck:-

Weather is a factor this time of the year, so drive safely all who can come..

So weather permitting.. Playing his double bass Tony Jullings..

Craig Hipperson on the drums..Alan Cugnoni ..banjo and guitar..

On the front line Tim Densham..clarinet and sax.. Simon Nelson..Cornet..and
Tony Parsons.. trombone.

Looks like another great musical evening so hope to see a nice of of people supporting the band, come and have some fun.

If you are thinking of a meal please book a table.

Snow!

It may look pretty but would prefer this snow to not have fallen in November, never mind just hope everyone who has to venture out will be careful, always someone who thinks they can still drive fast and furious, so stay safe. As age creeps on like it less and less such a shame as it is just nature.

I hope my poor fish are sound asleep under the ice and snow! have got the barrel wrapped in bubble wrap which was Ok last year, but have to get out and clear the bird station asap..

Brrr roll on Spring!

JAZZ

Thursday evening with the Sole Bay Band at the Buck turned out to be a really good night despite the terrible weather outside the guys warmed us up with some great jazz... I did not get pics of them all but Ray played a rather yummy keyboard with a nice lot of little tunes which some of us picked up on, well done Ray, and Peter sat in for Neil a while on the drums, just managed to catch him behind Derek, who as usual gave his all.
The prof on his double bass always a pleasure to listen to him. Alan on banjo and guitar, love seeing his grins back there, often wonder what his thoughts are!

Roy gave us a couple of songs as did Chris. Who was the Tramp Roy?

Tim as always wonderful sounds from his clarinet and the sax.

Bill playing his trombone with zest. and bringing lots of different music from his little electronic music book!

Sorry Chris and Ruth could not resist putting this one on lovely to see your smiling faces, and nice singing Chris.

Thanks Phil for managing to tolorate the great music.. you love us all really!! Missed you Heather hope you soon feel better..Colin and Duncan for the great company as always and the many friends who make the night special, thanks to Linda for driving in that terrible frosty weather, even if I did have to clamber over your seat as we could not open the passenger door.. glad everyone got home safe and sound.

Roll on next week hoping that the weather will be better, and some of the folk who have not been able to come of late, will return, we do miss you..
