Great Jazz Night!
Well that was a great night of talented playing and singing from the Sole Bay Jazz Band and friends at The Sports Pavilion. Ditchingham…
A really good appreciative audience to support these fine musicians…Thanks Sole Bay a great night…
The line up gelled so well …I always have to say it …we are so lucky to have such a great venue with wonderful musicians every Thursday evening to play for us. We need more chairs I must admit especially with the line up that played last night! sorry for those who had to stand, and also for those who had to put up with a lot of talking while the musicians were doing solo parts, but I hope it did not spoil the music.
What a pleasure to hear Simon Denny perform for us again, come again soon Simon… and thanks to Ray who played beautifully while Simon sang a great number especially for Sheila his Mum. It was so good to see the family attending again, dear Keith would be so proud.
Heidi what a great job you always do, it was busy and the smile is always there, so good to have such great friends that meet up each week…like an extended family. Lovely to see a few of the not so well ones coming along again, as always lots of good wishes to those still too unwell to attend.
Thanks as always for digging deep for the raffle, poor Tim always says it is a drag however he does a good job of calling the numbers out, and it is not like bingo!!! but think we could up the amount of prizes now as we get such good crowds, and thanks as always to those who put extra prizes in much appreciated. Sorry Tim!!!! I always tell people the raffle is for Alan to get such good musicians each week, and of course it is, but it is nice to see what pleasure and pain it is to see who wins each week. Great banter so thank you all.
A few photos, missed you off Tony sorry…and maybe a little bit of video later of Simon with Ray, not sure what it will be like.

Mothering Sunday lunchtime…
A huge thank you to my lovely family who spent their Sunday with me, and what great roses!
On my cheeks as well after that lovely wine!
Thanks David…Phil…Dawn…Thomas so glad you enjoyed the meal, have not cooked for 5 for a long time, and after Tom trying summer pudding for the first time, it will be brain pudding from now on! Pity you did not try the apple pie, I just had some for my tea it was rather good if I may say so…
All on a diet tomorrow maybe!
Sorry Pete could not be there, but maybe next time. But glad your Mum managed to have fun.
Did not know some of these photos were being taken, but glad they turned out as well as they did…

Sole Bay Jazz + friends
Last evening at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham. a good crowd came along to enjoy live music with the Sole Bay Band and friends…
Hope everyone enjoyed the night. Not so jazzy as usual, or maybe it was me! plus when one cannot see all the band it is hard to see the interaction between the players, maybe time to move to a different area. Some nice music a lot of different sounds! Tim played a good solo… Tony sang some fun songs… Dave did well sitting in for Craig on the drums, some great piano from Ray, Alan as well on the banjo and guitar, Tony had a nice lot of string bass play, Derek played well with some of his arrangements.
I think the amps might have been the problem from where we sat as when I was doing the raffle in the middle of the room it did sound different, however it was live music and we are so pleased to be able to listen every week. It is hard for Alan to get different line ups every week, and he cannot always please everyone all the time, ha ha especially me!!! but a great job Alan.
keep up the good work.
Thanks to everyone for digging deep for the raffle again and also to those who give prizes to add to the raffle. Working hard our Heidi as always behind the bar… Great friends lovely to meet up with on a Thursday evening…a couple of new faces again nice to see, but also some of the regulars not able to be there, get in touch if you look in and let me know how you all are. we do miss you.
I only took a couple of photos, but Fudge if yours came out let me have them please! Not the one of me though!!!
a couple of photos from Fudge…
