KT Tunstall! Happy 2006, everybody!


Kidding!

Working on her fifth album at the mo - should be just as good as each of her previous four.

I maintain that she should have won the Mercury Prize for her first, though. Whatever happened to Antony and the Johnsons, anyway?

We had (may have got rid since) an office there. If we still do I may enquire about a bit of overtime around this time next year.

Hozier's got a good voice... but not a good hairstyle.

Buns really don't look good on men.

How can you not love his moves?!?

Keep the Jools updates coming though, the remote has been taken so Adams is left on so I'm living vicariously through you guys.

You certainly don't... she's always looked like Patti Smith.

I'd say if you could an afford a penthouse in The Shard, you could afford to pay someone to put on a kick ass firework display in your back garden, (which is probably the grounds of a stately pile in Shropshire,) 7 days a week. :rolleyes:

Paul Weller (or is it Robert Carlyle)?

Don't know where you are but back in the days when the Gaiety Theatre was a late night venue there used to be brilliant ska/two tone bands on one of the floors, at least on Saturdays anyway. We'd be guaranteed that it would be getting bright coming home from a night spent there.

"Sex Bomb" never gets old.

RobertKK

Tom Jones is very good.

breffni bogballer

speaking of sex bombs,bring back KT

Welsh Megaman

Never heard of Rhiannon Giddens, but she has a good voice

griffin100

You could fall in love with that voice, she's like velvet.

mad m

B@llox.....I'm still poor...Feck that millionaire lotto.

RobertKK

Rhiannon Giddens is such a talent, she has been my highlight from Hootenanny.

ThisRegard

Back to Jools now. I have to say, despite being the less cooler of the two gigs, Adams put on a great show. It's going to cost me though, he said he'll be touring soon so interest piqued at that point in the house.

The London office of Al Jazzera English is also based in The Shard. There would be no trouble in getting your news output from there.

Just found out she's going on 39 (and so isn't much younger than KT).

She doesn't look it at all.

Welsh Megaman

Anybody been watching RTE's Noo Year programme from the 3Arena?

May watch it back tomorrow on the player :O

ThisRegard

What Hozier songs did I miss?

Go Harvey Go

Just noticed that Beth Hart looks a little bit like Helena Christensen.

Just sayin'.

RobertKK

That woman named Beth Hart I think it was , another very good voice.

Haven't of a quarter of these singers but they are just perfect for the night.

sok2005

Rihannon lives in Limerick! With her Irish husband and 2 kids.

The lady with the tattooed arm? She was great.

Still around 15 minutes after this duet by Tom and Paul.

KT will perform again, surely?

He just did a Van Morrison song, the name of which escapes me.

You mean James Bay has more than one song?

Oh wait, it's a cover.

We've just had a marriage proposal on RTE1 (I've never understood the idea of turning something so personal into a performance for an audience.....it doesn't strike me as romantic at all)

Totally agree, plus it puts you such pressure to say yes.

Welsh Megaman

How tall is Hozier? :eek:

Go Harvey Go

Only one performance by KT? :eek:

To be fair, though, she is more associated with Jools than any of the other performers...

And she still gets to share a mike with Tom.

haveringchick

RTE should just give up on NYE light entertainment. Nothing works.
Kathryn Thomas is unbearable.
Why did someone think she was the person for the job?
Hootenanny is not sophisticated and Jules is not a clever dick
Most of the audience are well oiled. Some of the acts are a bit hit and miss
But it just works
RTE should just show reruns of Halls Pictorial Weekly

breffni bogballer

still 30mins of the ginger one on rte

ProudDUB

What an utterly fablis show. Such a pity that RTE haven't the wit or the cop on to realize that Ireland is crying out for something just like it, of its very own. And with the fabulous musicians & singers that we have here, we wouldn't even need a fraction of the BBCs budget.

Oh well.... yet another year of wishful thinking when it come to RTE. :rolleyes:

Anyway, Merry New Year all.

Here's to a wonderful 2016 for us all. It was a pleasure to watch so many of this years telly highlights (and lowlights) with you all. I can't think of a lovelier bunch of people that I'd rather watch the Late, Late, the Eurovision, the Rose of Tralee, & the Toy Show with.

And oh yeah, Up the Dubs !

I don't think Hootenanny has ever been sophisticated.

And Jools did say the F-word live on air once...

Happy New Year guys

Best of Glastonbury!

Mary Jo Bulge - great song

Ol' Donie

Lemmy!

This one's for you, you mad bastard.

Welsh Megaman

That's the way I like it baby, I don't wanna live forever!!

Welsh Megaman

Easy to say in hindsight of course, but Lemmy did look frail at Glasto

Born to lose, lived to win.

paleoperson

Anyone watching CNN? This Anderson/Kathy odd-couple thing is getting a little formulaic and forced at this stage. It was brilliant when it was spontaneous.
