steantval Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 [quote name='mikel' timestamp='1483354844' post='3206397'] I have to say, Christine and the Queens, the number they did with the dancing, was fascinating. Highlight of the show for me. Also, I agree, Imelda May was excellent.

chriswareham Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 [quote name='mikel' timestamp='1483374839' post='3206644'] Dont know why musicians moan about the content of the Hoot, after all it has to appeal to a huge range of tastes. [/quote] Really? I can only think of one act I've liked on Jools Holland's show, and none on a "Hootenanny". Quote

Bobthedog Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) I have watched Jools' show on and off for many years and have discovered several bands and musicians from watching it. I also enjoy the Hootenanny show, although this year was not the strongest one. The following in his 2013 Hootenanny show is one of my all time favourites: http://youtu.be/ZMUjsj-n_FY?list=FLce-nSdPYegPmPFOcWVWRzw PS: Playing through my cinema system as enhanced music brings out the bass mix beautifully.

casapete Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) As stated in my previous post, I do enjoy Hootenanny every year. Must concede though that this year's wasn't the strongest, and agree that Imelda May stole it over a rather otherwise ordinary show. Enjoyed ABC though, and Gregory Porter and Rag n Boneman. Also Ruby Turner was her usual excellent self, and loved Chaka Khan's outfit Is it me or do all Seasick Steve's songs sound the same - droning bottom string guitar, and everything twice as long as it should be?

casapete Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Crikey, didn't know anything about SS Steve before that ^^^^^ This makes interesting reading too. https://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2016/sep/29/seasick-steve-session-musician-ramblin-man-book Quote
