I can't find the Jools Holland thread. But is he actually going to be broadcasting in May?

Sounds like a lot of bollocks to me, didn't think there was anything wrong with the show, personally. 

[found home in 2009]

Not sure if it's me that's changed or acts on the show, but it was the first place I heard Gogol Bordello, Rodrigo y Gabriella & seasick steve. I remember being genuinely thrilled by there appearances.

 

However, they were all a long time ago. Can't remember the last time I was really excited by a new act on Jools.

 

Think it needs a new booker, rather than a new host, but maybe I'm just getting old & grumpy.

I love Later with Jools, having tried for tickets for years I managed to bag tickets for three shows last year and loved everyone of them. Worth the long drive from Norfolk to Maidstone. It's an incredibly well produced and slick show, it just all seems to work. Manage to catch some real quality acts, St Vincent, Manics, Echo and the Bunnymen, Sam Fender, Toots, Christibne and the Queens, Kamasi, James, Neneh Cherry to name a few

I was wondering if there were struggling to get big acts last year. I think he had Mark Almond on the show three times, but they were flogging their own collaboration I suppose

Later with Jools always reminds of Glasto. Huge diversity in the range of acts he has, always has great new acts most people haven't heard of. I hadn't heard of Sam Fender before but his performance really blew me away, especially Leave Fast. He will be massive. A must see at Glasto

There arent many places on free TV theae days you will get the opportunity to watch these new acts which is a real shame. Long live Later with Jools
