Last night i watched Jools Holland........... and

[Little Andy]

Dakhabrakha were great. I wasn't keen on some of the female vocals in parts, but everything else was a delight!

[Woffy]

Just watched Jools - probably on repeat on Sky - but First Aid Kit were really rather good.

No Van Occupanther era Midlake, but really good. Huh.

[guypjfreak]

Haha every time I see new replies in this thread I hope it's guy's reviews.

The programme with Duos and Duets was good last night.

Slaves, White Stripes, Civil Wars, Royal Blood.

Might watch it again tonight on iplayer.

Just watched the New Year's Eve/Day Hootie Thingie and a couple of worthy standouts

Rhiannon Gittens was very good. Enjoyed Pauline Black and Arthur 'Gaps' Hendrickson doing some Selecter stuff. Beth Hart was excellent and would provide a dash of the missing Blues for G.

James Bay (missed him on Pyramid 2015), liked the cut of his jib, I was familiar with the single (Hold Back The River) but I also enjoyed his cover of Van The Man's "Domino" and (IIRC) Fogerty's "Proud Mary"

Worth catching up on.

seen Rhiannon Giddens a few times she's more commonly billed as Carolina Chocolate Drops - who are definitely worth seeing live

That's what you get for trusting the BBC speeligg department! I've got a couple of CCD albums 'n' all...

48th series?

I thought it was just one long relentless one. 

Like a welcome unremitting Friday Glastonbury shite akin to a shit magician pulling a neverending stream of tissues out of his sleeve.

Like a dog shitting out a towel...Like a...ohhh, you get the idea...

So BBC iplayer told me, I didn't do any background research 

[rubenz]

Paul Simon singing a jazzy number about wristbands. 

[Purple aki squat]

Liked the Paul Simon song.

Never seen anyone play air double bass before.

[rubenz]

That last laura mvula one was good as well. Bassline reminded me of Black Science Orchestra

is Jools still alive ?? cant stand him but annoyed i missed the show ..good to see new stuff ...cant stand Jools tho

[guypjfreak]

nor his bloody ivory keys

[4AssedMonkey]

Paul Simon didn't look long for this plain of existence.  If you ain't got him in the deadpool, get on it.  Especially given 2016 is the year of the dead musical legend already.

So let me get this straight, you CAN'T stand Jools Holland? 

[angelin]

Paul Simon didn't look well at all. Shame he was sick last time he played at Glasto.

Nooooooooooo. Paul Simon has been part of my life since before I could talk, I'm not having him die before I get to see him play live.

Never knew that. I just thought he wasn't very good. Could explain it.

[CaledonianGonzo]

He announced onstage that he wasn't feeling well.

(At least, I think he did....)

[angelin]

Yes it was a great set list so a real shame.
