More memories…2012/ 2013

 Whilst awaiting my casserole to cook this fine but frosty morning… felt the urge to find some more memories from the Jazz folk… sadly my computer is a little old like me, so the photos do not always come out in the order I may want them to however still lovely to remember…May have popped some on before, and sorry they are not very clear I had a dear little camera in those days, unlike Fudges phone she takes now…But enjoy…

Another great evening  from the Sole Bay Jazz Band at Ditchingham …

Have to admire our wonderful team of the Sole Bay Band, as with just 5 of them and Barry singing, they played their hearts out for us. Obviously not many folk there to hear them as usual nowadays, but they were all so good as always 

JJ and I were lucky to be ferried back and forth to Jazz again…so have to thank as always for those who look after us.

I told Jenny I would be writing this on here,  as she used to sing for us with the band, her daughter brought her, …since Terry her hubby died Jenny has been in a lovely home that takes care of her, it was so good to be able to see her again. Did manage to get a couple of photos of some of the gang that have followed Sole Bay, so with their permission will pop them on after Fudges great photos of the evening. Well maybe not JJ as she doesn't like her photo taken!!!

Thanks to Tony for the videos as well certainly are a pleasure to watch.

We had a bit of fun!!!! trying to fit 2 wheelchairs round the tables without upsetting others.

Kelly's birthday was celebrated with the band playing while we sang to her!

Clover and Christine as always with the raffle, while Fudge did her fun bit trying to shake those tickets up…and as usual mainly the same folk winning, which always brings a cheer!!!! But all good fun…

Sorry to hear from Tim that one of the lovely regulars had a fall and was in hospital, Les is a great gentleman, so from everyone we all are sending him a swift return to health, June we are thinking of you, take care.

We have had some wonderful friends who are now looking down and enjoying the music, we miss them all…So glad that some folk are still alive and kicking on these photos!

Cannot believe how the photos are nowadays with I phones, compared with my little camera I used to use at jazz!

Sole Bay Jazz Band Evening…

 A much better evening at the Jazz this week, The Band as always were great, but also a few more people there which made it much cosier, Fudge has sent some great photos, so big thanks to her.

Thanks Clover and Christine for the raffle and Janice for folding those colourful tickets, Fudge makes it good fun, people saying they need to be shaken up a bit more, just like they always used to say when I used to do it, remember shaking the bag once and they all fell on the floor!!!!!

Kelly a bit busier behind the bar, with her smile…even if the end of the evening is making coffees! Because people have to drive.

Thanks as always for the lifts JJ and me have, much appreciated, Stuart, Sandy and Neil. Barry brings people as well, every little helps. Such a great evening meeting up with lovely friends listening to talented musicians. Plus a harmonica tune from Geoff, Barry and Amanda singing some good songs, so all in all rather good!!!

Nice that Tim led the band so we could sing Happy Birthday to Les, June and him are like us all …love the evenings of jazz.

As a nice lot of folk look in, I do talk to some who do not bother with the blog, but hopefully those who do can feel the happiness we all feel. Also will find some more memories from the nights gone by. My computer is like me getting rather old, so the photos have to come in no particular order, but they are all important…Also Tony was busy videoing so look forward to them on FB.
