Bebop Spoken There

Jools Holland (on his 2026 spring/summer tour): ''With the mighty [R&B] Orchestra, our wonderful boogie woogie singers, and the brilliant Joe Webb opening the shows [including Darlington Hippodrome, June 19], we're in for some very special evenings of music.'' The Northern Echo February 5, 2026

The Things They Say!

This is a good opportunity to say thanks to BSH for their support of the jazz scene in the North East (and beyond) - it's no exaggeration to say that if it wasn't for them many, many fine musicians, bands and projects across a huge cross section of jazz wouldn't be getting reviewed at all, because we're in the "desolate"(!) North. (M & SSBB on F/book 23/12/24)

Reviewers wanted

Whilst BSH attempts to cover as many gigs, festivals and albums as possible, to make the site even more comprehensive we need more 'boots on the ground' to cover the albums seeking review - a large percentage of which never get heard - report on gigs or just to air your views on anything jazz related. Interested? then please get in touch. Contact details are on the blog. Look forward to hearing from you. Lance

Liane Carroll Livestream @ The Globe this Sunday (June 14).

(Press release)
This is exciting! We are absolutely thrilled that Liane Carroll, one of the most loved and respected jazz/soul singer/pianists in the UK, will be performing exclusively for us on Sunday 14 June.
We will livestream the concert through Facebook and YouTube starting at 8pm. You can watch the gig again on either platform at any time.
So that Liane can get paid, we ask you to pay a small ‘entrance fee’, which we recommend should be £5 per person. If you are able to pay a bit more this will be really welcome at this time when gig income for musicians has completely stopped and is unlikely to return in the very near future.

TO ATTEND THE GIG PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. Make a donation via the following link.
Donate what you can afford, £5 per person is the suggested minimum. Please do so as early as possible, as a rush of requests just before the gig may result in some people missing the start.

2. When we have received notification of your donation we will send you an email with instructions on how to view the livestream on both Facebook and YouTube. Please note that it may take several hours for us to respond.
3. We recommend that you access and save the Facebook and/or YouTube links as soon as you receive our instructions. On Sunday 14 June ‘doors open’ at 7.45pm to give you time to check your set up, get comfortable and chat with other members of the audience.
