Soon be time for the Hootenanny - time again for Ruby Turner, Roland Rivron, etc, and the same approach as the last 24!

If they actually recorded it on NYE they're the only acts they'd get.

[casapete]

Just looking at the lineup for this year’s Hootenanny. Here we go -

Michael Buble, Jess Glynne, Nile Rodgers / Chic, George Ezra, Marc Almond, Rudimental, Yolanda, The Record Company, Junior Giscombe, Hot 8 Brass Band, Ruby Turner and the Pipes&Drums of the Battalion Scots Guards.

Plenty of stuff there for the naysayers......

[BreadBin]

As much as I hate to sound negative - that looks like a really dull lineup.

He was on something with Jason Manford at the Albert Hall (a re-run from last Christmas) - singing a Christmas Carol of some format, he missed every cue, seemed to forget what he was singing...just not good.

I’m sure he’s a lovely bloke, but I just cannot listen to him at all.

[Frank Blank]

The Hootenanny is always dull imho, the addition of Marc Almond just means one more reason not to watch.

[mikel]

Great, I love the Hootenanny, wouldnt be New Year without it.

[dmccombe7]

Nile Rogers seems to be everywhere at the moment. Seem him / them on several shows in recent months.

Not that i'm complaining as the band are first class and Mr Barnes is simply unbelievable and makes bass look so easy.

Yolanda is on too but which one is that. The bass player or something else 

[The59Sound]

Madness on BBC1 for those naysayers.

He’ll be there, they just throw a dust cover over him when they finish filming and whip it back off when they start.  It’s the only thing he does all year. 

[EBS_freak]

Rudimental and Nile... (as long as they are playing by themselves and not with Jools and his band spewing boogie over the top) as for the rest, meh.

What a depressing way to end 2018. That line up is precisely the reason why the BBC's music programme department needs a total shake-up.

Totally agree and it seems like Jools has a Teflon coated contract with them.

Or is really cheap. 😉

Is Jools even relevant anymore?

dont think so

[The59Sound]

After years of people moaning about this, has anyone actually contacted the BBC to let them know their views and how they can 'fix' the problem? 

[stingrayPete1977]

I fixed my version by not watching it anymore, it just encourages him. 

[Rich]

Ah, it's the old "why don't they play something *I* like?" litany again. Well, if the Yolanda in question is Yolanda Charles, I'd watch it just for her. I'd wager that she's a better bassist than the vast majority of us here.

The day I find live music to be no longer relevant, will be the day I sell all my gear and take up stamp collecting instead. The fact that everyone moans about different parts of his programme would tend to suggest that the balance is generally right.

But I 'moan' about  all parts of his programme 😊. And who pray is Yolanda Charles? If she's a pro bass player she damn well oughta be better than a bedroom bass hero like me!
