Show More
Wilko Johnson's on it isn't he? Surely a bit of a miracle of 2014.
Ah, I didn't know he was on, only the young 'uns are listed on the TV listings.
Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding, Paloma Faith, Ronnie Spector, Paulo Nutini, Ruby Turner and Joss Stone are all among the acts playing on the show tonight.
always good artists, shame they pretend it is not recorded.
Sounds reasonable - Ronnie Spector and Paulo Nutini.
It clashes with carry on camping and I've only see that a few hundred times 
New Year's Eve isn't New Year's Eve if you don't watch Jools' Hootenanny - whether it's good or cr@p!
A pale imitation, but to be fair a thankless but well paid job. fair play to him.
Is Ed Sheeran bland, boring and vastly over-rated or is it me?
This Adam Lambert ( with Queen )is as gay as christmas lights, he makes Freddie Mercury look like an eastend docker.
you too foxy, I'll stay with Coronets on BBC4 I think
Paloma has a great soul voice when she's not singing sh1t.
Aye btf, just needed to get that off my chest but not create a new topic, cheers
Toby Jones as Capt Mainwaring - - I hope it is not a load of bollox.
William bell had a great hit with Judy Clay...Private number
He did indeed, BTF.
Shame Judy is long dead now.
That last one by Paloma whatsit trying to emulate Tina Turner, unfortunately, was just laughable.

Since you,ve been gone
You,ve had your number changed....

Ronnie hasn't lost her voice, sounds like she did in 1962, pretty amazing. Jool's drummer doing a good impression of the legendary Hal Blaine.
Got to say, this has been poor fayre tonight music wise.
But as I said earlier; it's compulsory viewing, whether it's good or not.

Tommy like I said she actually has a talent if not singing (so called commercial releases) sh1t.
Have Hayseed Dixie been on yet lads, only just started watching
Yeah when you think she's been singing at the top of her range since before Macca and she still hitting the notes. Unlike Tommy, I've enjoyed it this year and even River Deep Mountain High was good in my opinion. Perhaps it's just that I am well oiled 
Kenny, they're not playing the same chords, not in tune, flat as the proverbial pancake, whatever he was he's not that now.
Can't believe he's standing there, should have been well dead by now. Good on you Wilco.
Sorry guys, I've done a bit, well quite a lot, I would not embarrass myself/family /friends even if I was bankrupt. that was facken pathetic. Nowhere near a new year welcome for me.
He beat pancreatic cancer. He's entitled not to be as good as he was. Still awesome though. 
and he kept performing when he thought he was on his last legs. Check his breakfast time interview from 12 months plus ago. Inspirational.
He's fantastic but he's never been any use on vocals.
Sorry kenny, the business is called entertainment, no amount of nostalgia an empathy with illness can stop the ignominy from younger uninitiated listeners.
anyway there won't be many younger viewers, several of the acts are turned 70.
Fair enough kenny, I just hate seeing acts "holding on" when the music world have forgotten them, or the are appearing as a token/budget act. his vocals have always been piss poor, as attitude adjuster stated earlier, and not amount of nostalgia will change that.
Here we are in 2015 he's still going, Facking fair play to him, we are all just trying to get along as best we can. so HNW kenny and everyone giving it a go.

Where's Jimmy Cliff?
That's what I want out of a Hootenanny!

he (jools) owned a greyhound at one stage, it was decent but i cant
think of the name, his syndicate was the charlton anti social club if i rememmber right

How could you not enjoy Paolo Nutini? And Joss Stone, if not her singing her bare feet.
Tommy Jimmy is fantastic, was bringing Reggae to us then got facked by Marley, what could have ....should have....
Joss Stone now seems to be a 'middle of the road' warbler.
What a waste.
What a waste.
I'm not a fan...but Paloma Faith has been very entertaining tonight.
sometimes you just need to take your foot of the pedal and enjoy the view

AA, if you listen to her, she is actually greater than ther commercial sum.
Joss Stone's from Devon, she's never going to be Aretha, but she has fine voice.
I wish i was Paulo Nutini at the after show party
The old chick from The Ronettes was fairly good and still reasonably fit.
Boxing, this is Jimmy Cliff on Jools 5 years ago last April singing 'Many Rivers To Cross'.
He sang it later that year on The Hootenanny recording, but I reckon this was the best take he ever did.
If you look, you can see Paul Weller and other musos in the background just being blown away by Jimmy's performance that night.
Just sublime.

the only fkin band worth watching at the moment is the pretty reckless
WALOFS.
Goulding - absolute carp. Paulo Nutini typical Emperors New Clothes. Joss Stone is from the west country. Whats all this putting an american accent on to sing a song?? Ed Sheeran not my cup of tea, but at least he is talented. What is the point in having someone doing Tina Turner karaoke if they aren't even as good as Tina? She's full of herself that Paloma. Best of what I saw was Clean Bandit - although everyone has heard it a hundred times. The oldies fared better at least they can sing Ruby, William Bell, Ronnie Spectre. Clearly Wilko is an NHS miracle, and he might be interesting in a side show way, but it doesn't make him much of a musical act.

as an alternative for next year recommend Hogmanay show on bbc Scotland ( if you have sky ) king creosote was on, very good
Joss Stone is an angel.....great voice....nice kid
Paloma Faith brilliant
Tna Turner gets on my t*ts

Very disappointing and whenever I saw Jools heading over to his piano couldn't help my eyes rolling.
Some songs just don't need a great big backing and they didn't add anything, e.g. Bozz Scaggs.
Ellie Goulding is actually a really good singer and enjoyed her and Paolo Nutini but wouldn't be watching either performances again.
Ronnie Spectre and William Bell OK. Clean Bandit good but looked like they had played the song thousands of times before which they probably have and I prefer it when the two girls are singing not Jess Glynne.
Wilko Johnson... miracle of science but not the vocal arts imo... loved him with Dr Feelgood back in the day.
Joss Stone... hmmm Paloma Faith average. Can't remember any others
Altogether if you missed watching it you didn't miss anything. Surprised Holland still gets this gig.

Holland is a brilliant presenter
No one else could get near what he does in that programme

If he gave up trying to add honky tonk piano to every song he might have a chance to find out which act is on next and which stage they are on.
The bloke is useless. I can't see his level of incompetence being tolerated in any other field.

The Leopard: Whilst Holland might be a good presenter and might have contacts bringing music onto the television that we might not get the chance to see in everyday life can you please point to a decent artist's performance that has benefited from having him and his rhythm and blues band next to then rattling and plinking away?
The show has some draw for artists as it has credibility - mainly due to it being the only programme of its ilk.
Unsure how much Holland has to do with booking acts. No doubt BBC minions are employed in that role.
In many ways the show is successful despite Holland.
