True - the voice was just the same.

Roy Wood was never an amazing vocalist but he was struggling I thought.

By my reckoning he's bashed the old joanna on five tunes so far. Nobody wants to hear that.

Do people listen to Seasick Steve's music or just use it to scare birds off crops and does he go home inbetween appearances or is it more cost-effective for him to just sleep on the studio floor?

I have always found the musical offerings on Hootenanny preferable to the alternatives on NYE - even if acts and audience are all getting rather long in the tooth together as the years roll by.

And yet Fry has that female vocal trampling all over The Look of Love and everything else they do live these days.

I think some singers look after their voices. And some dont bother as they probably smoke and drink a lot

Upholstered in more leather than a three-piece suite from DFS and the seams under considerably more stress than a Gogglebox sofa.

SS enhancing the unlistenable quality of his "music" by having someone stamp on a board next to him for no discernible reason.

Jools abusing the ivories for a sixth (7th?) time with that last track.

I'm recording this, it gives me the hump that they pretend it's live.

Do people buy Seasick Steve's music or just use it to scare birds off crops and does he go home inbetween appearances or is it more cost-effective for him to just sleep on the studio floor?
It's a sort of abuse of power, he picks acts that he can crowbar his boogywoogy piano accompaniment into, he also wangled a freebie ticket for his old mucker Rowland Rivron.

The first year Seasick Steve was on was a classic, they had Amy Winehouse, the Zutons, Paul Weller. Lilly Allen and the Kooks. This year was meh, mainly stuff Holland likes.

I'd like to see the BBC take Jools out of the whole Later...franchise.

I half-expected to see him bashing away in the background as Christina did Tilted.

And now he's jigging along with Chaka, standing up for some reason.

...he wangled a freebie ticket for his old mucker Rowland Rivron.
Yesterday's man. He had bugger all reason for being on telly even when Jonathan Ross let him do Dr Martin Scrote on The Last Resort as some kind of act of charity.

Pinhead in Hellraiser wore less leather than she's got on.

If we could have a Hootenanny with just Amy Winehouse and Paul Weller then i would be a very happy man

Have I missed the explanation for why Porter wears that or does nobody mention it?

I think everyone knows by now, it's not that big a deal.
