Bassman Sam Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 [quote name='Batfastard' timestamp='1388536746' post='2323280'] Its the best one for years. Lisa Stansfield, Rudimental, Ruby Turner, John Newman, Charlie Wilson lots of soul. Plus Mel C doing Stevie Wonder and Ray Davies doing some Kinks, the only bad things were the proclaimers and the lumineers. [/quote] +1 Except I like the Proclaimers.

Skol303 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Watching it. Loving it. Dancing round the living room with Mrs Skol, Junior, Grandma and my brother... all tipsy on champagne (apart from Jnr who's on hot milk). Big smiles here Happy new year everyone.
discreet Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 The acts are pretty much what you'd expect for this show really, but it's the faux jollity that goes on during the 'new year's eve party' and particularly the 'countdown' to 'the new year' at 'midnight' that gets me, when in reality it was recorded mid-December and wrapped up at 10:45 so everyone can could get home to bed early. I don't care though, as I'm off my face on synthetic opiates. Happy New Year!
molan Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Outstanding - Girl you knock me out Excited - Makes me wanna shout. . . Go Charlie, Go Charlie!

4 Strings Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the Queen of Bassface, Charlie Wilson and a friend of our family in Rudimental. Dave S's fabulously ugly and inappropriate bass has almost ruined my 2014 already - may all my problems be this big!

booboo Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Avoided. Did Jules manage to display his 'versatility' by playing his same tired boogie-woogie style in a sh*t cover version with all his guests?

I thought pretty much the same as you until I actually got to try one. Just a fabulous bass and really inspiring to play - you'd wake up the next morning wanting to go all over again (unlike your average beer googles lass, lol).

lee650 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 I actually quite enjoyed it, I've never seen Haim before and I thought the bass faces rivalled my own ( I was number 13 in the basschat bass face comp a few years ago - lol) and he AJ presentation was stunning, takes allsorts eh.Anyway im a bit on the merry side as the wife/kids are in bed and I've been assaulting the brandy/port. HAPPY NEW YEAR
ambient Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) [quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1388535464' post='2323263'] WARNING..........WARNING..........WARNING If you think Jools is bad then please do not be tempted by turning on the radio. Johnny Vaughan is on Talksport. So unless you want to hear this buffoon talk endless moronic drivel usually about himself then avoid at all cost. [/quote] I thought that's what all radio DJ's did ? I had the misfortune a short while ago to be stuck in a car travelling for 6 hours, not my car and not me driving. I had to put up with Chris Evans (this is way before my usual wake up time too ), who has to be the most annoying person on the planet, this was followed by some scots dick who I think was suffering from dementia. Then some abysmal phone in show, where lots of people who almost certainly read the Daily mail and haven't quite woken up to the fact that the year is 2013 phoned up and talked nonsense, then there was to cap it all, as if the previous 3 hadn't been bad, Steve Wright !

Deep Thought Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Ruby Turner on NYE Jules? Never!! I was in bed (between 0600 shifts).
Roland Rock Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) There's a lot I didn't like, but I'm going to keep my post positive... I thought Laura Mvula was great (despite seeming to have aged ten years) and, regardless of what you think of the looks, Dave Swift's Fodera sounded superb. Edit: I only watched till about 12:30, so maybe there was better stuff after that. Edited January 1, 2014 by Roland Rock
ubassman Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Darn all that diversity of music that Jools and his mates bring to our TV screens . I say bring back New Years with Andy Stuart and Moira Anderson - you knew were you were in those halcyon days!

Geek99 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Can't seem to find this on catchup ? Went to bed early last night as falling asleep on the sofa at 7pm was a good indicator of being too tired to stay up Yeah I know ...,
