Brian great idea to buy a piece of music to be played, and it was really great thank you…

Hope that all who were ill, in hospital or just too unwell to come along last evening, we wish you well, and look forward to seeing you again soon.

As such a good crowd last night not enough chairs as always, best sometimes to bring some fold up ones! but so nice that so many people turn out to support the live music, thanks from the band for doing so. Thanks Neil for helping find the new visitors some.

JAZZ AT THE HUB…

Last evening at Sheringham Theatre in the Hub, The Norfolk Jazz Quartet played to a full house.

Great company lovely music and a bonus with the Christmas lights that were shining brightly in the high street. Even if the wind and rain tried to spoil everything.

Thanks to everyone …what a lucky one I am to get to hear such talent. The videos I took not had time to get them on but they sound good to me. Will try and get them ready to go on here as soon as I can, they are rather too large at the moment have to compress them first.

Thanks Tim great night long journey but worth it.

A couple of photos to be getting on with. It is lovely with the changing lights in the background should have worn the black and white though… ha ha sorry Vic!

Pete…Liz…Vic…Tim…

Jazz night at the Sports Pavilion…

Yet another good evening of live Jazz and Blues numbers from the Sole Bay Jazz Band 

with  friends…

Some different music and a few laughs plus some good company, I hope everyone enjoyed it all.

Really wonderful musicians giving us a melodic evening with vocals 

from Tony Parsons… and Roy Symonds…

Thanks to Heidi who even feeling under the weather manages to keep that smile going. appreciate all the deep digging for the raffle, so good that nearly everyone helps so much so we can all enjoy these fine musicians every week. 

Don't forget we will have a bigger raffle for the 17th December on our Christmas night, thanks to those who have given me some nice prizes to add to those we have bought, hope that more people will have a chance of getting a winner!

Great company as always and some new faces  along with the regulars. Some of us do have a few giggles which is good as a lot of us live on our own, so nice to have some good company on the same wavelength. 

I would just like to say get well soon to all our friends who are unable to come along at the moment because of illness, or bereavement and especially to one of our regulars who is again to undergo a very serious operation, our thoughts and love go out to you, hope that by the new year you will all be back to share the music.

I would just like to send all our best wishes to Marian, who yesterday said farewell to her John, a different kind of thanksgiving funeral …and thank you for the rather good wake Marian and family… glad you loved that some of the Sole Bay Jazz family came along we all loved your man… look forward to you returning to Thursday nights when you feel able.

There are a few of regular fans that are not fit enough to come to jazz nights at the moment, so on behalf of everyone we wish you well soon.

Sole Bay wow!

Thursday night at the Sports Pavilion proved as always to be good, but again this week have to say …amazing… as these talented musicians all played for us a really good programme, how very lucky we are as it was such a brilliant evening. Thanks to one and all.

A good crowd there to support these great musicians, thanks for all those who dug deep for the raffle once again, as without the support of the raffle Alan would not be able to get these line ups for us, and I know that other venues charge an entrance fee, but not there at the Pavilion …thanks also to Jon for contributing from the bar…so keep helping, also Tim and I are trying to get some good raffle prizes, as well as some folk donating items.

I am keeping some of those back ready for a big raffle on the 17th of December for our Christmas evening. Hopefully some who have not won will manage to win on that night! But of course the main thing is to support the band. Thanks as always to my raffle ticket folders! big hugs.

Some wonderful little pieces of solo playing from all the band, all great and some rather yummy drumming from Craig and string bass from Tony J who has hidden himself from me this week as well… Ray on the piano, and Trummy on trombone and 'arsonium' Tim and Ron when they play together it is magic…Alan woking hard at the back line and who gets these great musicians each week.

Thanks Heidi and Emma for looking after every one, nice smilie ladies…

A few photos…rather spread out so did not get good photos, but you get the idea…

missed our Tony J off sorry…

Ron posing for me! great playing…
