Stormzy was more listenable than I expected , though still not really my thing . But I felt sort of sad hearing Melanie , who I thought didn’t have the voice she was once famous for . Perhaps it’s to be expected that the voice will change as years advance , though I’m hoping that with daily care and exercise mine will rather improve ..... Joseph didn’t really do it for me , though I presume they are an established act . I guess it often comes down to individual subjective opinion. |

I endured the preposterous stormzy - dreadful racket, Eddie Reader - superb, and La Roux was embarrassingly bad. |

01 Jan 20 - 07:18 PM (#4025835) Subject: RE: Review: Jools Holland annual bash From: punkfolkrocker By now, folks are probably fed up with me going on about how much I don't like Jools Holland... The stand out act for me was, surprisingly, Rick Astley.. His voice is maturing with a touch of the 'Tom Jones' in his power and tone... |

01 Jan 20 - 07:28 PM (#4025836) Subject: RE: Review: Jools Holland annual bash From: Stanron Whenever rap comes on my TV I either change channel or turn off the sound and get on the computer until it stops. The rest of the show was surprisingly good. Apart from the silent rapper and one other act I didn't get I was impressed. I quite liked the Stereophonics singer doing 'I got a spell on you'. Incidentally 01:10 tonight (UK) on BBC4 the first of four programs on American roots music. |

02 Jan 20 - 05:35 AM (#4025877) Subject: RE: Review: Jools Holland annual bash From: GUEST,akenaton The BBC Alba show on Hogmanay was rather good although it was all in Gaelic......Peat and Diesel, introduced to us on Mudcat by John J, made a highly acclaimed appearance. They do have a certain charisma reminiscent of some of the old folk performers, who's main purpose was to entertain and involve their audience. I notice that my objection to the pathetic jibe concerning a presumption of colour prejudice has been removed yet the offensive remark remains in place.....my, hasn't this place changed. |

I don’t know who the jazz and blues singer was , but I thought she was good , and the Holland orchestra always shine imo. I’m sure the sax player goes a show on Cebeebees..... |
