Lance! You and your team of willing helpers have created a wonderful resource for us jazz mad boys and girls ...... you're a star - and here's to another ten years, and more!
Congratulations Lance. A remarkable labour of love.
From Ann Alex, I'm very grateful to Lance, because my writing for BSH keeps my writing muscle in trim, which makes it easier to write other stuff as well, such as songs. So if you don't like my songs, you can blame Lance!
Our favourite jazz blog is 10 years old! Congratulations and thank you to everyone involved, especially the remarkable Lance Liddle
Well done Lance, you're inspirational!
What Roly said. Congratulations on getting 3.3M views of the BSH Blog over 10 years - Wow !!! Ken Drew
You're the Tops!
Referring to the TYA gig at the City Hall, Lance - I was there, backstage, and privy to the reason Alvin Lee wouldn't initially play : there was a long delay due to live voltage potential between his guitar and the mic stand ( allegedly caused by his stack of Marshall amps using live chassis ). When they did play, Woodchopper's Ball was highlight. Greetings from sunny Devon!
I can't remember the delay - I was probably in the bar! I do remember Woodchoppers Ball. You recall, in Windows, we'd be playing jazz records all day and, next door in the 'Pop Dept' they'd be playing pop and rock. Well, I heard Woodchoppers on next doors turntable and thought, "What are they doing playing 'our' records?! Which was when I discovered TYA.
I just wanted to congratulate you on keeping the blog going for ten years - that's some achievement (and a lot of dedication and work).
I remember sitting at a table next to you (and your friend who used be at many of the gigs) in the Corner House about ten years ago and we got chatting and you told me that you had recently started a blog. I think I had also started my blog on the folk club in Dublin around the same time - a much smaller effort which didn't last very long. You gave me a little flyer and I clicked on when I got home and have found it unmissable ever since!
Thanks for reading and publishing my various ramblings which I have enjoyed creating. You will have realised long ago that my various diversions into irrelevancy is a device to cover up the many large gaps in my jazz knowledge but fortunately you, Russell and others more than meet that requirement.
I look forward to having you and BSH as my jazz guide for many more years!
