witterth Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I was taken back to those days in '82 when I rushed back home to see the "TUBE" and was never dissapointed. Jools has had loads of "Knockers" on here, I love Jools (his band) and his programme and yes I remember the old posts on BC where people ripped him for no reason ( no boogie piano at the drop of a hat was there? hes a good old pro muso) who cares if he cant do a "Dimbelby" with Shaun Ryder? its a good programme and very interesting...still Shorty Trombone , and thats for starters... never heard of him..but loved that stuff!!other acts (songwiter black girl white hair superb!) but I did think, Snow Patroll were below par glad to have it back Love it W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LemonCello Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I really enjoyed the act called Little Dragon. Did you notice the bass player stayed up the dusty end most of the time? He was also playing through an effect of some kind, made the bass sound very 'synthy'. Trouble with the Jools show is that it's all over in half an hour!

jimbaby Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hi I saw Trombone shorty support Jeff Beck on his last tour, great player and band, good to see them get some TV time. Regards Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMech Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yeah was a great ep, other than Snow Patrol. Trombone Shorty was especially good, will definitely be checking him out in the full length version [quote name='MoJoKe' timestamp='1316556625' post='1379770'] +1!

Dave Vader Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I tuned in 'cos I wanted to watch the Duke Spirit as I really like them on the radio, bit disappointed with their set, but loved Trombone Shorty who i'd never heard, and still love Roy Harper, and Little Dragon lived up to expectations of them being great. Really good, please drop the half hour live format, and just do the 45 minute show on a tuesday and friday please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing worse than being in a band with one-big-3-minute-chance and fluffing it without any recourse. Funny to watch, but not so nice for the act...

stringintheshade Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I don't think freeview / freesat run iplayer unless you've internet plugged in too. But I've already set up my HDD recorder to record the whole series from Fri so I don't have to think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) Had a quick run through the short version on iPlayer, nothing really to make me record the full vs tonight I'm afraid, will still check it next week though. There's usually a few in acts in each series that are worth a look in. That girl from The Duke Spirit seems to have nicked Alice Gold's stage appearance from her recent tour!

oldslapper Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Thought Little Dragon were superb, best act of the show, for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
