Fair enough - I suppose it is a typical break-up album. Here's the band on Jools' show, as an excuse to keep on topic: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would any musician criticise another who manages to work hard and smart enough to make a living out of his talents. In one my friend. Its music, its never going to be everyone's taste. Its a music show and not a "reality" tossfest, be thankful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like a permanent resident of Later and yet there are entire genres that barely get a look in Edited September 19, 2019 by Barking Spiders 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 My suggestion to Later would be to add a series of specials to the schedule. I seem to recall that in the early days Jools went to New Orleans for a show about the music down there. There have been, and still are, plenty of gigs that Later could cover. a few years ago Jeff Beck at Ronnies, this month Jon Cleary at Ronnies. A couple of years ago Keb Mo at the Union Chappel and Vulfpeck and Vintage Trouble. . . all missed. The Funk Brothers came to the Festival Hall in 2000. In 2005 the Muscle Shoals, Hi and Stax studio guys came over and played at the Barbican. All these gigs should have been covered, but they weren't! There must be many examples in other genres. Never mind knocking what is already on TV, what about all the missed opportunities? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikNik Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Haven't watched it in ages. I did seem to notice that some of the 'big-bands' had both an upright and an electric bassist. That's the last thing I remember about watching LWJH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irrelevant how professional and successful another musician is people are entitled to their own opinions about that person good or bad and voicing that opinion if it’s negative doesn't mean you are bad mouthing them I'm sure there are musicians that you don’t particularly favour or you think are overrated etc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
