Anyone catch the Jools Holland programme last night, with the Foos, Coldplay and the Datsuns. It was fantastic, considering it was just a small studio audience, the bands really put on a performance, they all looked like they were in the middle of a set in one of their favourite venues. Dont know if they do repeats, but keep an eye out.

Yes it was one of the best shows for sure, except I'm not sharing Jools passion for the African stuff but who's complaining...

karkus,

Last nights show was a repeat of Friday's programme.
As usual, a great collection of musicians performing live, with the possible exception of the African segment.

Since the demise of 'The Old Grey Whistle Test'( I am showing my age!), Jools has ably filled the gap.
I am delighted that at the end of the show, there was mention of a forthcoming release of ' The Best of Jools' during the last decade on DVD.

Brian.

I even liked the African music, very primal, cant imagine buying an albums worth mind you, but it could grow on me.
The OGWT with the wispering Bob H, I remember it well.
We used to get a radio programme up here on Radio Tees (now sadly defunct), called the rock show, where you got to listen to loads of unknown bands and singers. I heard the Stranglers and Split Enz before they had singles in the charts.

I will be watching Jools from now on.

Finally managed to watch Jools Holland's History Of The Piano tonight, two excellent one hour programmes.
