Jools Holland

whom do you wish
me to stalk, tv? betty
boo? your wish is
my command

wow that was a piece of shit last night, remember when this guy had some pull?

I didn't watch it, but I know what you mean. There was a time where I wouldn't have missed an episode of Later..., but these days I'm not really as arsed about it as I used to be. If I'm flicking through the channels and it's on, I'll watch it, but it's been a long time since I thought to myself "ah, Later... is on tonight, can't miss that".

The '90s was easily the best time for the show, IMO.

Now the BBC Studio has closed, it's more difficult to get good guest artists to make the trek to where they film it now.

Ronnie Spector and Wilko Johnson were good to see, the rest was generally alright but no great 'stop whoa' moments

Who else was on?

umm, off the top of my hed..

Goulding, Sheeran, Paloma, Stone, Nutini..

William Bell, Boz Scaggs, Hayward Dixie,

Something called the Julian Holland Rhythm and Blues orchestra..

Think that covers it..

Oh and Ruby Turner, but she's more a permie in the big band.

this was terrible except for william bell, who even got joss stone to loosen the lugnut that keeps her together one quarter turn

was gonna say William Bell is the name that leaps out of that lot but jesus fuck watching a Jools Holland

yeah i made it about 20 mins tbh

Oh, I dunno, it was all fine as background to the festivi, the only truly dire and terrible bit was Paloma Faith "doing" "River deep and Mountain High". At least Ellie Goulding's version of Michael Jackson suited her voice and was OK.

That sort of thing, anyway.

Ed Sheeran was pretty good I have to admit and I generally dislike the guy....Paolo Nutini is awful and Paloma Faith is kinda annoying

paloma faith sang eight or twenty times, let us note, she was as well to have been slinging twenty ps into a fuckin karaoke machine. if someone of her talent had grabbed the mic at a work do like that shed have been brained by the waiter

haha

> Now the BBC Studio has closed, it's more difficult to get good guest artists to make the trek to where they film it now.

i was quite impressed by the guests, unfortunately they were all the audience 8)

> Ronnie Spector and Wilko Johnson were good to see

this, basically.

the trick is to not watch it live - record it and ffwd through the terrible bits.

tbf ronnie spector and william bell were actually great

i lasted about two minutes of this and then went to bed early with my ipod, happy new year people

Didn't see WBell much, some of his first, but when he did Private Number with ANyone, did run away.

Ha, touchpad translated JStone into ANyone ...

reverse function would be worth having she look intersting

is that

tom wilkinson

on drums

Melanie!

Later... With Chris Spedding?

would watch

FFS I would watch Later...with Gilson Lavis over the big man at this point

/Later... With Chris Spedding?/

would watch

Apparently, I crawled into bed last night still ranting about the guests on this.

They don't film it live y'know

I once went to a recording(of an ordinary edition rather than a New Year's one). There was very much a message "You will look like you are enjoying yourself". I've no idea why I was there or who I saw - I want to say Massive Attack but this could be delusion.

I've put in for hootenanny tickets each year, never got. Although, quite pleased I didn't get them this year (apart from Stormzy)
