I just wanted to say that the Ventnor Blog is just absolutely brilliant. I really enjoy reading about what's going on in Ventnor and the Island in general, particularly the local music scene. Please keep up your good work - your support of the local community is fantastic, and you bring much pleasure to folks such as me, who like to keep in touch with our roots on the IOW. - Stuart Yates

There’s nothing like the sound of the Jazz Band in full swing.

the Jazz Band at Ventnor Brewery picture does not
show the representative of Age concern vis me.
Iam lying under the jackboots of mother xmas who
is holding up her second pint.
Thanks for the pictures and comments, and as I am
in my 34th year with this Glorious Orchestra, it
is humbling to know that so many non-music lovers
are still around. I have photos of my grandad in the mop brigade, as our forerunners were called,
taken in St.Catherines Street and Belgrave Road in 1919 we think. keep listening. Cymbal.
