Reviewers wanted
Whilst BSH attempts to cover as many gigs, festivals and albums as possible, to make the site even more comprehensive we need more 'boots on the ground' to cover the albums seeking review - a large percentage of which never get heard - report on gigs or just to air your views on anything jazz related. Interested? then please get in touch. Contact details are on the blog.
Look forward to hearing from you. Lance

? Kevin Spacey.
Liz.
My Missus thinks Marti Pellow.
Johnny Depp would be good.
oh! its got to be Kevin for me any day...;o) Think he has a rather roguish charm.
Yes Hil, I based my choice on his performance as Bobby Darin in the biopic "Beyond the sea" & I do agree about that(perfectly described) roguish charm, surely an essential quality for playing ol' blue eyes!
