Bebop Spoken There
Dave Puddy: "Eventually we paid our entrance money [to Eel Pie Island] and fought our way to one of the many bars where we could buy our Newcastle Brown and retire to the back of the heaving dancefloor. There must have been lights somewhere, but my memory remains of being in some dark cavernous wonderland." - (Just Jazz July 2020)
Dave Rempis: “Ten years from now, I can see musicians streaming concerts in real time and charging a minimal amount for people to watch.” -(DownBeatSeptember 2013)
Hudson Music:Lance's "Bebop Spoken Here" is one of the heaviest and most influential jazz blogs in the UK.
Rupert Burley (Dynamic Agency):"BSH just goes from strength to strength".

More memories of guitarist Charlie Smith in this article from the Evening Chronicle circa mid- sixties I would guess. Thanks go to Charlie's daughter Jean. Lance.

I knew Charlie,, I lived near him when I went to music college and he taught me sight reading there and other stuff,, every Tuesday morning I think .. he always had a lot of music to get through for me. I went to his house quite a few times. He always had a few guitars, old ones ., I would love playing them.. He told me stories of Gigs past . With pictures and posters ... ‘ Charlie Smith and his Guitar .. ‘ Was written on one of the posters I remember.. All of his guitar students loved him in their own way, we all knew ... It was a real honour to be taught anything by him.. Great ... great guy ... Pat Caldwell..
