Bebop Spoken There

Charlie Musselwhite: "I used to see these posters in the windows of the [Chicago] blues clubs advertising Elmore James and Muddy Waters which knocked me out. I was making a note of the addresses and at night I'd go back and listen to the blues until 4-5 in the morning." - (Blues Matters! Aug/Sep 2021)

The Things They Say!

Hudson Music: Lance's "Bebop Spoken Here" is one of the heaviest and most influential jazz blogs in the UK.

'606' Club: "A toast to Lance Liddle of the terrific jazz blog 'Bebop Spoken Here'"

The Real Ale/Jazz Train

One of the crazier features of the North East in July is the Real Ale/Jazz Train which runs from Newcastle to Carlisle and back, powered by Diesel, Matfen Breweries' Real Ale and the Vieux Carré 4 or Fred Rowe's Railroad Stompers.
Colin Aitchison, over here from Hong Kong, played on one of the journeys and part of the proceedings were posted on YouTube.
Colin is on trumpet, Gavin Lee, clarinet, Brian Bennett, banjo and, I think, Phil Rutherford, sousaphone. 
A good time appeared to be had by all and I'm going to get me some of that Matfen Brewery Beer!
