Bebop Spoken There

Abbie Finn: "Even though there's a lot of great work being done to promote women in jazz, I still come up against some attitudes! I pulled up at a recording session with my drums in the car and the studio owner said, 'I'm sorry, this space is reserved for the drummer!'" - (Jazzwise April 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!"

Those missing comments...

For those of you, and there are many, who have posted comments and failed to see them appear over the past few weeks/months I think the issue has been solved and, not only should recent comments appear, but also a backlog which I've selectively updated - I hope!
Here are just a few of them:
Hugh on Geordie Jazzman.
Mal Maddock on Chet Baker.
Ray Newton on RIP Clive Gray.
Steve T & Gene Jarred on 1978 Cleveland Jazz Festival.
Carstairs on Taylor Smith & the Roamin' Jasmine.
Joel Fass & Sabine Nagel-Heyer on Marty Elkins' CD Fat Daddy.
Anon on Jazz Café Jam - July 3.
Patti on Frank Sinatra Story @ Whitley Bay Playhouse.
Roly on RIP Bob Bain.
Jukedome on Melfi, Val & The Vs.
Steve Andrews on Jazz Harpists.
So keep the comments coming, the floodgates are now open!
Lance.
