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

Sole Bay Jazz Band…



Sad to say I have just heard  that another of our gang …Brian Thirtle …passed away yesterday, his son was playing him Bourbon Street Parade just before he died as that was what he loved hearing played the last time he came to jazz… what a lovely way for him to pass on for him, love to all the family…

Another great night of live music from The Sole Bay Jazz Band… 
at The Sports Pavilion Ditchingham…

Thanks to the band with some rather good numbers that they dug deep to find, very nice! thanks Barry for the vocals… 

A really good crowd as well which was nice as been a bit thin on the ground of late.

Thanks to Clover and Christine for the raffle and as always the  'boys' for folding the tickets, and of course for you all digging deep so that we can keep the band coming along each week, have been checking around and most charges on the door for live music is £10 so think we all are very lucky at Ditchingham with the talent of our musicians…

Thanks Heidi for always smiling and pleased to see the christmas jumper coming out getting us in the mood!!!

Just wanted to say how sorry to hear that one of our regulars is very ill lots of love and prayers for you Brian. Also for all of our merry band of folk who are under the weather at the moment please take care and get well soon.

Just a reminder that on the 21st December it is our Christmas Party Night… feel free to bring some food for your tables, we have had some great evenings getting us in the mood for the season of santa in the past so let us make this a good one to.…and the raffle will be great!

A few photos… Think check shirts must be in fashion!

Sole Bay Jazz and Friends…

Sorry late in writing a little report this week… been very busy with family commitments…

But a lovely night of live happy music on Thursday at The Sports Pavilion…Ditchingham with the Sole Bay Jazz and Guests. Great playing so thanks to all…

It was a miserable weather night, so not as many folk turning out, but thanks to all that did…

Thanks as always to Clover and Christine for doing the raffle and the boys for folding the tickets, and those who were there for digging deep in your pockets for the raffle.

Heidi for her lovely smile…

Some rather different vocals from Barry and thanks to Mick for his very melodic guitar playing…Tim, Derek and Ray on the front line married well with Craig and Tony who always keep the beat.
