Bebop Spoken There

Branford Marsalis: "As ignorance often forces us to do, you make a generalisation about a musician based on one specific record or one moment in time." - (Jazzwise June 2023).

The Things They Say!

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".

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

The Strictly Smokin' Big Band included Be Bop Spoken Here (sic) in their 5 Favourite Jazz Blogs.

Ann Braithwaite (Braithwaite & Katz Communications) You’re the BEST!

Holly Cooper, Mouthpiece Music: "Lance writes pull quotes like no one else!"

Tonight @ The Cherry Tree - not to be missed!

Tonight at the Cherry Tree is rather special, but aren't they always? So perhaps I should say EXTRA SPECIAL!
By which I mean a return visit from top singer Alice Grace. Alice wowed the audience on her previous visit to the Cherry Tree and has also created waves at the Jazz Café. Her CV  includes stints at Ronnie Scott's as well as with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra. If you missed her last time don't get caught out again.
Once more Alice will be accompanied by the outstanding Peter Gilligan Trio (Peter on piano; Paul Grainger, bass and Russ Morgan drums). 
Lance.
Wednesday October 14 - Alice Grace w. Peter Gilligan Trio, Cherry Tree Restaurant, 9 Osborne Rd., Jesmond, Newcastle NE2 2AE.. 0191 2399924. 7:00pm. No cover charge.
