Sole Bay Jazz Band 2018

I do not know where last year went, but here we are again… 2018 …Sole Bay Jazz Band starting the year off playing at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham.

A really good start with some great playing from these talented musicians, everyone giving their best and the sound (when slightly lowered thanks Tim) was great, some nice vocals from Barry to add to the mix.

Not much of a crowd but that was to be expected the weather was very off putting, and of course so many have not got over this lurgy which has caught all of us in some form, leaving a very fatigued lot of people, so I sincerely hope that you all will soon be back and joining in the lovely musical evenings we have come to enjoy. But still lots of our regulars coming along to cheer.

Thank you Clover for doing the raffle …the boys for folding the tickets, and all you who dig deep so that we can keep these fine musicians coming to play for us.

Thanks Jon you did well, did have a grin as could see how much you loved it!!! Heidi back next week? you hope.

Tim did take some of us to the funeral of our dear Brian on the 28th December, thanks to him we were able to say a fond farewell to one of our 'family' who loved his jazz… and we send our love to his family.

A few photos…my little camera does not like the lighting, but you can see the line up…

Christmas…

I have no idea where the year has gone, it has flown by I know that.

I wish all my lovely blogger friends (who even though they may not comment I know they are looking in) a Very Happy and Wonderful Christmas and  Healthy New Year…

My thoughts as I prepare a lovely Christmas meal for family to all those who are lonely, alone, sad or unhappy for many reasons …just to remember… Yesterday is gone (apart from all good memories) tomorrow is in the hands of God …so remember to just enjoy the day you are in and try to make it the best you can.

Thank you to all my lovely friends and family for always being there for me.

Have a lovely Christmas xx

Great music and singing lots of food and  good company, just the way to start Christmas…

Must mention Jenny how good it was to see you get up where you belong in the band, and you have been through so much but we do love to hear you sing, so do not leave it so long next time. Thanks to Barry as well without the hat… ha ha and for Tim who each year finds his bah humbug hat!

Thanks to Clover and Christine for the raffle and for the lovely lady who provided that special prize that Jan and I won thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Thanks for the "boys" who always fold the raffle tickets.

To those of our lovely people who are now missing from our family of jazz, hope you are all celebrating up there in the sky we miss you all.

Heidi for all your help and lovely smile, in fact everyone there… Have a wonderful happy Christmas and really look forward to seeing you all in the New Year.
