Lance you do an amazing job.
There are some great pieces from GIJF in there. Nice sensitive writing about the circs Zoe Rahman was playing under. Look forward to hearing more about Olivia Moore. Etc
I'm sure others will want to do the same - many many congratulations!
I totally agree.

well as a non musician, but an avid music lover, I am proud to be associated with this Blog & endorse everything that has been said about Lance, he does do an amazing job, is passionate about live Jazz in the North East, not only reporting on it accurately ,but attending as many events as his otherwise crowded schedule allows, and from this small voice...well done!
