Off Topic Jools Hootenanny

not watched it yet. Any good?

 

In a word, no.

Same old ****e, before you ask I'm down at the outlaws and had no choice.

 

Gregory Porter, Rag n Bone Man & Seasick Steve all fantastic.

Ali Campbell, bloody awful

 

Yep that sums it up -
why did Gregory Porter wear a balaclava?
why did Chaka Khan
& Ali Campbell's daughter Kaya(?) had a better voice ....

Time for a revamp / new blood ?

 

Taped it but I struggle to watch that little bellend Holland.

 

A quick Google search suggests he has some scars on his face, which he covers with the balaclava.

Chaka Khan has obviously had A LOT of 'work' done but had a decent voice still.

Agree on Campbell's daughter too. Why was he trying to sing in a fake Jamaican accent?

Couples that watch Jools Holland's Hootenanny doomed to split - FACT

please log in to view this image

ALL couples who watch Jools Holland’s BBC2 New Year show will separate at some point before March, it has emerged.

The Institute for Studies questioned 5000 newly single people, and discovered that all their relationships fell apart after viewing the programme.


Each respondent reported a deadening sensation between the legs during the show and an overwhelming sense of ennui when the broadcast had finished.

Stephen Malley separated from his fiance Francesca Johnson after seeing the show last year.

He said: “We’d been together for three years and were having it off constantly.

“She was keen to go to her mate’s New Year party, but I couldn’t really be bothered so persuaded her to stay in and watch Jools’ Hootenanny with a bottle of Ballycastle.

“As soon as Jools started gladhandling Brian Ferry, I was overwhelmed by a certainty that I’d never have sex with her again.

“Then as the Big Band were tuning up for a jazz riff, she told me I ‘smelled of burning nylon’ and moved to the opposite end of the sofa.”

Francesca added “I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Stephen. But it was only through watching Hootenanny that I had any idea how endless and unbearable a lifetime could be.”

Stephen says that he and Francesca still plan to attend the Squeeze reunion concert that they bought tickets to before the end of their relationship.

He said: “We’re both massive fans.”

 

I only watch it when Roland Gift is on.

 

Only sad old ****s without a life watch Hootenanny. FACT

Chazz watches it. I rest my case.

 

I watched it.

FACT busted.

 

Yes. He shouldn't have put old in the statement.

 

Exactly. The fool.

 

Quill is an old man in a young man's body FACT.

That doesn't sound quite right when I read it back.

 

Loads of middle-aged people who'd had a sniff of Chardonnay doing hand wave dances to pop songs from the early 1980s.

It was ****.

 

Yes we should have lots of young snowflakes getting excited by lip-synching, talentless, berks.

 

Agreed.

Better than the tedious, old no marks on display last night.

It was a borathon and if I had my way it would have been switched off. I'd rather look at a blank screen.

 

It was more nostalgic comfort-blanket ****, like we haven't had enough this year.

 

I'm no spring chicken but even I thought I was watching something that only old people should be exposed to.

It was proper ****.

 

Thanks for the reviews, don't think I'll bother watching it
