01 Feb 02 - 04:44 AM (#639883) Subject: RE: Jools Holland From: JohnL He's good with his own band but if only he'd stop contributing to other guest's performances on his BBC2 show. It annoys the hell out of me and detracts from their music without adding anything. |

01 Feb 02 - 05:18 AM (#639895) Subject: RE: Jools Holland From: mooman I naturally respect your opinion JohnL but I've actually enjoyed his accompaniment of many of his guests and genuinely thought it did add to the performance as I regard him as a very instinctive and and sympathetic accompanist. Best regards, mooman |

01 Feb 02 - 05:47 AM (#639907) Subject: RE: Jools Holland From: GUEST,Guest I think John was asking if anyone has heard the CD and what their opinions of it are. I'd be interested to know myself. |

01 Feb 02 - 05:52 AM (#639908) Subject: RE: Jools Holland From: The_one_and_only_Dai I have it and think it's great. Predictably enough it's full of off-the-wall collaborations, with people like Suggs and Sam Brown, as well as a lot of people I'm not too familiar with. My impression is it's very much a good-time record... |

01 Feb 02 - 06:55 AM (#639927) Subject: RE: Jools Holland From: Ella who is Sooze I love it! I'm listening to it right now at work! There's only one track I'm not that fond of, the rest of them are a really good mix. They are mostly really good. Infact, I'm grooving in my swivel chair and twisting away when no one's looking. I particularly like, Micia Paris I put a spell on you, and Sam Brown. Oh, and Mark Knopfler one is good too. And the Taj Mahal one too. I'd recommend it, Tescos are selling it for 11.99 at the mo. Go for it when you can, it's fun! Some really saucy sounding music going on and hot piano playing from Jools. Ella |

01 Feb 02 - 11:41 AM (#640061) Subject: RE: Jools Holland From: Kim C Oh Boy! I met Jools Holland MANY years ago when he was playing with Squeeze, and I was a piano student in college. He was very gracious and friendly talking to me about piano things. I have never forgot that. |

24 Dec 02 - 04:44 AM (#853006) Subject: RE: Jools Holland From: ET Does anyone know how to contact him. I know I am obsessed but couldn't he help with the campaign against live music and the dreadful PEL rules in the Licensing Act? Kim Howells is said to be fond of Jazz but hates folk? |

24 Dec 02 - 05:01 AM (#853012) Subject: RE: Jools Holland From: mooman Yes indeed ET! His "10 years" retrospective even featured Lal Waterson with Eliza Carthy, Martin Carthy, Richard Thompson and Danny Thompson, and also a marvellous Portuguese fado singer whose name I can't remember. Good idea! moo |

24 Dec 02 - 06:38 AM (#853048) Subject: RE: Jools Holland From: Ed. That's a good idea, Hamish. The Contact Jools section of his website isn't of much help though. |
