Bebop Spoken There

Lakecia Benjamin: "From my early days with Clark Terry, he told me 'they see you before they hear you'... I'm just not from that school of thought where I'm gonna wear my jeans and T-shirt on stage and that's going to be respectable." - (Jazzwise, February 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!"

Jazz in the Afternoon @ Cullercoats Crescent Club - August 16

Herbie Hudson (trombone, harmonica, vocals); Brian Chester (keyboards); Dave Percy (bass guitar); Ian Hetherington (drums) + Brian Lynam (harmonica); Marilyn Hunter (vocals); Teresa Armstrong (vocals); John Broddle (vocals)

Nothing much had changed, except for just the one hand pull on the bar instead of the usual four or five beers to choose from. And until the cook returns next week, it's a toastie or crisps or nuts. The Cullercoats' regulars turned out, yes, nothing much had changed. Monday, one o'clock, Jazz in the Afternoon. 
The old guard - Herbie Hudson, Brian Chester, Dave Percy - were joined by Ian Hetherington, drums, and a gaggle of guest singers. When You're Smiling sang Herbie, it was like old times. The afternoon took on a familiar shape...Herbie the prankster, Herbie the 'bone and harp man, a vocal too. From time to time guests joined the band: Brian 'No Time for Jive' Lynam, Marilyn Hunter travellin' Route 66, Teresa Armstrong singing I'm Confessin' and John Broddle declaring I'll See You in My Dreams.
