New Years Eve…

It hardly seems possible that a whole year has simply flown by 2012 will soon be 2013…

I have been thinking back of all the things that have happened on the blog…my diary this year has been about a lot of Jazz more than Cakes and Alistair. But the stat counter says lots of folk have looked in, so have not been talking to just myself!

Lots of Good…Bad…Sad…Happy things have been and gone, so tonight we wish for the New Year to be  Healthy and Happy … Keeping up with Good Friends and Family…

I will be remembering all the past New Years, spent with lots of Joy and Fun… nowadays spent in front of the TV alone instead of out and about…well not quite alone because I have my lovely Cat…lots of Memories… and looking forward to spending the coming year with Family and Friends…

May it be a very Happy New Year for all of my readers of the Blog…

Enjoy… and make lots of lovely memories for the future…

Sole Bay little taste of last night…

I apologize for the wobbles but hope you can hear how good they sound.

Brian this is really for you as you requested High Society and it was great…enjoy…

FESTIVE DELIGHT…

Just when I think the Sole Bay cannot give us yet another great night, they pull out all the strings and we end up with another marvelous evening of such talent that it is hard to describe.

I do hope I can get the little video on later as I am rather pleased with it and then those of you who could not attend may get a bit of the magic.

Ron,Tony.Craig,Tim,Alan,Dick…

It was such a lovely friendly place to be last night, and I thank you all Gentlemen for giving those who did manage to get to the Pavilion a Joyful, Happy and Pleasurable evening of entertainment, that anywhere else we would have had to pay highly for, you were much appreciated as no doubt the applause told you.

Sorry this is not clear but I took it from the other side of the room, as had never heard this talented man sing before what a joy thank you Ron…

Looking forward to the New Year when the Sole Bay will be back to entertain us.

I will have a try at downloading the video now so watch this space.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas Day and that Boxing Day will prove to be just as good.

It's Christmas Day…

I wish all who follow the blog a very Happy Christmas Day…

So much is going on in the world, but we should stop and remember what Christmas is all about, so some time today just stop and think of all those who have nothing …no home… in ill health… alone…and give thanks… and for those who believe… a prayer that things will improve…for however we may feel there is always someone who is worse off than we are…but for those who have family and friends and a houseful of food… Have a wonderful merry Christmas…

I love Alistair's song title so will borrow it…

"I WISH FOR YOU THE WORLD"

Footwarmers Jazz…

This Sunday lunch at the Beccles Conservative Club… Footwarmers Jazz gentlemen played to a very appreciative audience …At half time Ray Simmons came along to add to the line up…Great music and we liked the Christmas music even if you did not!

Seem to have missed Bill off again, but he played some lovely piano.
As Ian said I have only written reports of late and not put on photos, so hope this is satisfactory Ian!

And this is Stella.

  The hat was playing a Jingle!

So we had a great laugh…

More Sole Bay Jazz Magic…

Just had to do a little report before I go shopping …on last nights Christmas gig at the Pavilion…

Thank you Sole Bay for another great night of talented music and fun, and for the singing from Tony…Jenny and Roy.

Pleased you did do a Christmas number, helped to get everybody in the Christmas mood.

What a good line up the sound was really melodic,  each week  different, I hope you enjoyed it as much as we all did. We are so lucky to have such talent so close to home, and for free.

What a great crowd, we will all have to start bringing our own chairs (as some do)! a lot of different faces last night as well as your loyal fans. What a great little family of fans that follow the Jazz I know the band love to see you each week. Thank you to all that look in on here to see what is going on with the Band, even though not many comments on my blog the stat report tells me many people do find it useful…

So thank you everyone,  Heidi so good to see you back, you do such a great job, hope you were not to tired,  Jon and Marilyn hope we did not leave to much mess!

I wish you all a very Merry, Peaceful and Healthy Christmas.

Do not forget the Sole Bay Gentlemen will be playing again on the 27th December, so we will not miss our Jazz fix!

Have fun drive safely and see you next week.
