Submissions for review

Whilst we appreciate the many emails, texts, messages and other communications we receive requesting album/gig reviews on BSH, regrettably, we are unable to reply to all of them other than those we are able to answer with a positive response.
Similarly, CDs received by post will only be considered if accompanied by sufficient background material.
Finally, bear in mind that this is a jazz-based site when submitting your album.

Coming Soon: Folk Meets Jazz @ the Jazz Co-op on Thursday March 5

You definitely shouldn’t miss this event.  It’s an open mic night for all adventurous musicians and listeners who want to hear or take part in both Jazz and Folk Music.  Go to the Jazz Bar at the Globe Pub, Newcastle on Thursday March 5 at 8pm to experience both types of music.
This is something of a musical experiment, jam session, comparison of musical styles and cross fertilisation which will enhance your own music making. Everyone who wants to play will get a chance – piano, drum kit and PA provided as required.
Free entry to all folkies, jazzers and musical libertarians!
Ann Alex

PS I know I’ve joked on this blog in the past about how jazzers and folkies should avoid each other etc, but we all know that there are only two types of music, good and bad, so let’s make good music  on March 5.

About this blog - contact details.

Bebop Spoken Here -- Here, being the north-east of England -- centred in the blues heartland of Newcastle and reaching down to the Tees Delta and looking upwards to the Land of the Kilt.
Not a very original title, I know; not even an accurate one as my taste, whilst centred around the music of Bird and Diz, extends in many directions and I listen to everything from King Oliver to Chick Corea and beyond. Not forgetting the Great American Songbook the contents of which has provided the inspiration for much great jazz and quality popular singing for round about a century.
The idea of this blog is for you to share your thoughts and pass on your comments on discs, gigs, jazz - music in general. If you've been to a gig/concert or heard a CD that knocked you sideways please share your views with us. Tell us about your favourites, your memories, your dislikes.
