Live Music…

A good night of live music from the Sole Bay Jazz band and Friends at The Sports Centre 
Ditchingham

A smaller crowd than normal but good that so  many do come along to support the band. 

Thanks for digging deep as always for the raffle, Thanks to Clover and Chris for that and the 'boys' for folding the tickets…

Nice to see Chris Capocci back again, and with Tim …Allan Bradley on front line with our intrepid 3 on the back line and a few solos as well which were very enjoyable. Even had some audience fun with the singing.

Heidi of course with her smile behind the bar…

A few photos and Fudge has put one on the FB. all good ways of getting people to know about the live Jazz… Also our Marathon Man yet another medal well done Robin x

Wisteria

Just been watering my very dry garden, and watching the blue tits in and out of the box, so thought would put the photo on here… not as good as usual as was not able to cut it back last year, but still that and the bluebells smell delicious! Also nice that you cannot see all the weeding that needs doing!



Fun…at Chris's Birthday Party

Lovely to see and hear this …Sorry again Mike I know you were saying it would not be good, but it does show how much we all enjoyed it. 

And live music is the best…Hope to see you back at Ditchingham with the Sole Bay one of these Thursday evenings.


Thanks again Ruth and Chris and everyone for a really great happy evening…

70th Birthday Celebrations…

Well that was a party and a half … Chris and Ruth what a great celebration at the Queens Head Thurlton for Chris to enjoy his 70th birthday.

Thank you so much for letting me be part of it, and thanks to Barry and company for the lift even if we went the long way round, Stella was enjoying it and all the birds and animals we saw, well done for missing them all.

The evening was really lovely  very noisy like a good party should be…and what a line up to entertain all of us…

Chris…Ray…Tim…Craig…Tony…Mike…Barry…

taking it in turns to make the evening great.  Lovely food as well …the cake was good Ruth sorry I could not make one for you as I did for your wedding, but as they say 'you did well' and those candles were a blast! xx all in all a success you two, hope your heads (and some of the guests heads ) are ok today!

I took a nice lot of photos but on looking through thought better than put some of them on ha ha, however did a little video of one of the songs, I know Mike you said 'oh no' but it was live and shows how everyone was enjoying the music and having fun. Will pop it on because I enjoyed it and lovely to see you playing again…

So good to see old friends and some new ones having fun, thought the labels were a good idea Ruth and a giggle…

Sorry if some of the photos are a bit blurred no it was not the champagne ! everyone was moving so much, but hope whoever looks in they will show what a great party it was.


The main man xx


Pity the 70 candles were blurred what a great giggle…




Three wise men!

Cheers…

Food…

Do not ask…not sure whether it was a dance???



Our Stella…No matter what age always have a smile x

Sole Bay Jazz evening…

Another good night of live music with the Sole Bay Jazz Band and Friends…

Nice to see a good crowd coming along to support these fine musicians…

Thanks Clover and Chris for the raffle which as you know helps with Jon to get these musicians each week. Thanks to those who can donate nice prizes (please) as well which helps the ladies with providing a good raffle. Also of course for our band of 3 who fold those tickets!

Good to see our Heidi back again…Great smile…

Nice to hear Barry giving us some songs, our 'Man in Black with a Hat' is certainly fitting in very well and getting used to not sitting at his piano! Did not get a photo this week was waiting for 2nd half but then you did not get to sing, but Fudge did get a photo and put on her Face Book…

Thanks to all those who picked up on my spelling mistakes on the blogs!!! At least I know you are looking in! Have put them right now…until the next time…
