There may have been only 5 musicians plus one singer last night at the Sports Pavilion Ditchingham…
But those there, I am sure will agree with me, that the music of these talented people was really really good… thank you Sole Bay for a great musical night…
Afraid a lot of us were under the weather, but oh so good to go out after being indoors feeling sorry for ourselves! well me anyway, and the music was soothing and worth the effort.
Also was so pleased to see a good crowd after the Christmas break…
Nice to have Mick with the band always a great player but lovely bass last night, Tony hope all goes well with the eye and see you back soon.
Alan had been unwell but played his banjo and guitar with gusto as always…
Trummy… the notes that man gets out of the trombone and the 'arsonium' as Tim calls it is pure amazing…
Craig lovely to hear some more great drumming, you know how much you were appreciated.
Simon you sang beautifully lots of feeling and so good to see hear you singing again…
Tim you always play well but you seem to be really enjoying the music last night, loved it all thank you everyone.
Thank you for the people who came up to me to buy the raffle tickets, did not think the old legs would have got round everyone, even if I did have to catch a few during the interval, we must make sure we buy the raffle tickets, as it all helps to keep the live music going, so please as there is no entrance fee keep buying them, I hope to be back to fitness next week so you will not escape me!!!
Thanks to the 'folders' of the tickets as well… several people have suggested some new ways of collecting the raffle money and the ticket folding, but think at the moment we will stick to the old routine, we have been doing it for 5 years now, but thanks anyway always good to have feed back…
Thanks as always to Keith who still is managing to do the raffle, and the books, keep well you and Sheila…
Heidi with her calm bar work and her great smile, always sure of a welcome from her.
So another year started, hope to see a nice crowd again next week, and that some of the regulars who were unable to attend this week, will be back again to hear the live music…

Another great night of jazz from all those above, also had a few songs from Roy…
Would have liked to hear a few more duets from Ron and Tim as they play so well together… but Ray gave us some great piano playing, also would have liked him a bit nearer the others as he gets lost out on the side instead of nearer the front, but of course we cannot have everything. Tony, Craig and Alan keeping the beat as always…
Once again a bit loud for some of us, but at least it does cover the loud chatting that seems to go on regardless… however nice to know that everyone enjoys meeting up…and as long as the band does not let it bother them it does not matter.
Thanks to everyone for digging deep for the raffle which helps to encourage the band to keep playing each week.
On the 18th several of us have decided not to do a big buffet to celebrate
Christmas this year… however please get together those who have tables to provide a few goodies, and for those who cannot… a few of us will make sure there will be plenty for everyone to go around…
Thanks to Jon for allowing us to do that, but do not forget to spend plenty at the bar… unless you are driving that is, as we want everyone to enjoy Christmas…

Sole Bay Jazz…
A good night of live Jazz at the Sports Pavilion last evening…
Not such a big crowd, maybe lots on TV! but still a good lot of regulars to meet up and enjoy some chat and music…Probably not one of the more upbeat nights, but very enjoyable maybe a little loud for some of the audience but that was due to the amps not the talent.
Lots of folk not feeling very well, maybe the time of year, and none of us are getting any younger …so firstly may I wish everyone who is not 100% a speedy recovery, not nice when some of our great friendly crowd cannot get to the music…
We had several different types of music, with vocals from Tony P (love Dr Jazz) and Roy sounding on top form once again…
I did manage a few photos, but have done something to my camera that has deleted a lot of favourite photos and it seems to be playing up but will keep trying to sort it… The band was more colourful last night so risked a few shots… thanks Fudge for cheering me up!
Thanks Jan for once again driving us…and to Heidi for keeping up the smiles even in the not very warm venue…June and the Coven table for the goodies, ha ha glad the amaretti biscuits went well with the wine June! In fact thank you to all our lovely regulars who make it a pleasure to have somewhere to go to meet up with live music and a friendly chat to warm the heart, oh and the cuddles! all for the price of raffle tickets, (well not the cuddles they come free) we are so lucky…
Last but not least thanks to the talented musicians who come along every Thursday night to play for us…I hope you know how much we appreciate it… Thank you…
