HAPPY JAZZ NIGHT

A really great evening of jazz and fun last night at the Pavilion…

What a night of weather, so thank you everybody for turning out, thanks June for braving it, and guiding me across the ice…

Thanks to 

Tim, Tony, Mike,Neil, Bill,Barbara…

Some nice vocals from Mike …so nice to see him playing again…also to Chris who gave us a couple of songs, and of course Jenny, how lovely to see her up singing again…

Some really different music lots of real old fashion jazz thanks to one and all.

Bill knelt down near Barbara to read her music…

Caused more great fun so sweet…what a great crowd we have at jazz…

If you look hard you may be able to recognize these two!

I did a couple of videos, but as I was sitting on Neil's knee for one of them, and he kept moving to the music it is to jumpy to put on but I am having fun watching it, you are welcome to see that and the one of Jenny singing, but you will have to come here to watch it. Sorry…

Looking forward to next week…

I hope your arm is not too painful Marian missed you, John will have to do the cooking!

So another different sound to come this week from these fine musicians…

Hope a nice lot of fans can make it to support them…

8pm-10.30pm

A little taste of last evenings jazz…

Whoops… rather a wobbly video and should have sat more in line with speakers, but hope you can manage to see it without feeling sea sick!

Maybe should have done a more upbeat tune as they played plenty of those…will try another time to do a better job…

Magnificent Seven!

 I repeat …THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN…

*******

Yes and they certainly were… The Sole Bay Gentlemen are always good, but the line up for last night was a gold star winner…

Thank you , what a great night of live… happy…talented music, from you all, and also thanks to Roy who even with a sore throat managed to sing us a couple of good vocals…

I have hopefully got a video to download later so fingers crossed those who could not make it last night can hear what you missed… cruel aren't I…

The front line of three saxophones and clarinets in harmony… the piano melodic as always, the strings and drums well it was just a joy to hear, I would like to have done a video of it all, we could have raised a lot of money on the sales!

The line up of Tony, Ron, Craig, Tim, Alan, Derek, Ray…

Thank you Jan for deciding to come and take me I know you enjoyed it and you will come again…

It was a terrible night of weather, yet amazingly so many fans turned out, hope the drive home was not too bad for you all, very wet! Better than this morning though snowing here…

We have such friendly  people… who come and support the band, and I know they like me to thank you all…

I say it so much, but once again, How lucky are we to have this talent on our doorstop, we would have to pay a lot to hear such great music …and we get it for free…

Thank you Jon for being so cheerful behind that bar, we all missed Heidi, but you did a grand job…

Glad you decided to let us use your facility what a lucky break for us all, and hope you are beginning to love the jazz…
