Another Sole Bay Perfection

Roy having fun
How these talented musicians manage to give us fans a different sound  of jazz and swing each Thursday I do not know, but may they long keep it up.

I did a little video but again could not get steady enough but the sound is great it was Tony (the Prof) who gave us a great cowboy song, so again if anyone wants to hear it afraid you will have to pop round here and watch it. I do not like to put a video that is not up to standard…but to tease you it is great…

Alan, Bill B, Ray
What a great night not only did we have a good crowd who appreciated every piece the band played we had Roy coming to sing some lovely melodies, and Chris giving us his usual laid back songs.

our Professor…
Tim and Bill S…
Craig,Bill,Alan 
Colin and Duncan my two torments…
This is our Heidi with her special bump, we love you young lady… keep well.
I have to say it again how lucky are we to have such good friends and great musicians…thank you.

SOLE BAY JAZZ…10th January 2013…

THURSDAY ALREADY… weather foggy so take care driving tonight when you all come to hear these talented folk…


Alan has just sent me the line up for the Sole Bay Jazz playing on the 10th January 
at the Pavilion Ditchingham…
so as I was late last week putting it on here thought I would post it earlier!

Looks like another great line up…

We have Tim Densham…Saxophone/Clarinet…

Bill Skinner…Saxophone…will be nice to see you again Bill…

And the other Bill …young Brewer…Trombone…

Tony Jullings on his String Bass… 

Alan Cugnoni…Banjo/Guitar…

Craig Hipperson…Drums…All such talented musicians…

maybe Ray Simmons will be there with his Piano…
and you never know we may have some vocals as well…

So come along and enjoy an evening of great Jazz and Swing…

Cool Blue plus more!

Sunday lunchtime at the Butchers Arms, Beccles, proved to be a rather different lunch time to what we expected as we not only had Cool Blue, but visitors as well…

I took a little video of Cool Blue playing Moon Dance as that is always a favourite, however have not had time to download it yet and reduce it for here, but will do that later if it is useable.

A wonderful amount of talent came together with the addition of 'friends' to give us and I think Ian the landlord, and the regulars, a surprising lunchtime…
Ron,Ray,Mick,Simon,Craig,Barry,Nigel…
I say it again we are lucky to have such great players in our region, and I am sure they appreciate the amount of fans they all have.

Thank you one and all for the music the company and looking forward to next time…

Have just checked the video…it is to wobbly to put on here, as I was too far back in the wrong place again! but anyone in the band who would like to see it you are welcome to pop in here and check it out…Sound is good though…

Nice to see some new faces there as well as us hard core fans …hope they will return…

January Jazz
Music provided this week …Tony…Tim…Craig…Derek…Alan…Ray…

And vocals by Roy Symonds who was greeted as always with lots of cheers as he always manages to give us a lift with his songs…

A different night of music always good to hear some old and new, great solos by all of them, and nice to hear Craig giving the drums a good work out. Also Ray on the piano a nice touch…
So thank you all.

COOL BLUE...........Sunday 6th Jan.2013

This coming Sunday 'Cool Blue' will be playing at the Butchers Arms Public House…

This week the line up is without Lin, but includes as usual, Simon Denny…Mick Betts…Barry Langston…Craig Hipperson… with the added attraction of Ron Hockett… and other guests…
 Have just heard that Ray Simmons will be playing as well on Sunday, so a great line up…

So  a good lunchtime of entertainment…

It is hard for musicians to find a nice place that they can show off their talent, and Ian has a good pub with car parking on the London Road here in Beccles, so why not come along and enjoy a good Sunday lunchtime of music with a friendly crowd of people 
and there are bar snacks available as well…

Starting at 1.30pm…
