Grassie Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 Looked earlier to see what time it starts - 11:20 until 1:45am. Is that shorter than normal? I'm sure it usually starts around 10pm... Quote
SpondonBassed Posted December 31, 2016 Posted December 31, 2016 That's just to make sure that none of the participants snuff it before their turn. Quote

ezbass Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 I tuned in and out and because of this it did rather seem that I was watching last year's show: Seasick Steve (I do like him, however); Ruby Turner; Gregory Porter; Boogie Woogie. The only thing that marked it not as a repeat was Dave Swift's choice of bass, an Ibanez BTB 6 stringer this time, if I'm not mistaken. Quote
spongebob Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 What about Chaka Khan? The outfit - it certainly 'gained your attention' if you know what I mean! Quote

Ashweb Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 I think the outfit was worn to divert your attention away from the lacklustre performance. To my mind she seemed to sleepwalk through most of her songs on autopilot. Must be hard to keep the enthusiasm for a song you've been singing almost continuously for the last 30 years. Quote

Grassie Posted January 6, 2017 Author Posted January 6, 2017 Gonna skip Hootenanny next time. Me and the missus have watched it every year for probably 8 or 10 years, but this last one was pòor. We'll be having a party with proper, danceable tunes and loads of alcohol. You're all invited. BYOB. 😊 Quote
