Bebop Spoken There

Greg Abate: "So many sounds are ugly now. There are no harmonics, no chords. What do people hear these days? Why do things have to change from that good music?" (JazzTimes June/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!"

Eales broadcasts to the nation...

Inveterate jazz gig-goer and sometime BSH correspondent Tony Eales has been spreading the word about this weekend's Ushaw Jazz Festival. Thanks to a network of jazz friends, arrangements were made for TE to be interviewed by Tom Stevens, host of Siren Radio's weekly jazz programme. Tune in tomorrow morning to Simply Jazz (Tuesday, 12 noon - 2:00pm) to hear Our Man in County Durham chatting to Stevens about the big weekend at Ushaw and Eales' wider jazz interests. 

Siren Radio is Lincolnshire's community radio station based at the University of Lincoln broadcasting on 107.3 FM and online at www.sirenonline.co.uk. Simply Jazz will be repeated on Sunday (Aug 25) at 11:00am.
