Bebop Spoken There

Sean Jones: "There were like three people in church who couldn't sing or play an instrument. We thought there was something wrong with them." (DownBeat July 2022)

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:"Lance writes pull quotes like no one else!"

Gin & Jazz in Jarrow











It's Valentine's Day next Tuesday (14 February) and for many, it's a special day filled with flowers, champagne, chocolates, candlelit dinners and pledges of undying love. However, The Vieux Carré Jazzmen would like to offer the ladies and their beaux something totally different - a Roaring 20's Night of jazz 'n' songs at McCONNELL'S GIN & ALE HOUSE, 77 Walter Street, Jarrow NE32 3PQ - only a short walk from Jarrow Metro Station. 
It'll be an evening of fun - and romance with any luck!  Showtime 8.30pm. Free.  
See you there!
