Definitely the Hootenanny for me - especially with KT Tunstall taking part this year.

Seems hard to believe that it's been eleven years now since Later... launched her into the big time, famously after Nas (remember him?) couldn't make his flight:





It's no surprise that she has made several more appearances on the show since, and has performed with Mr Holland's Rhythm and Blues Orchestra.





And, of course, the year we're about to leave behind was also the year she turned 40.

Will be interesting if she performs "Suddenly I See" and Tom Jones performs "She's a Lady" - there are quite a few comparisons you could make between these two songs, IMO.

Happy New Year to all, was unattainably detained, hic with visitors

I had just turned over to Jools & saw him talking to KT, great to hear she has a new album coming out, as i heard she took a break from music after her dad passed away & other family matters & was concentrating on soundtracks in LA, but yeah i'd say NAS is now only mentioned now in quizbooks on how did KT get her breakthru on Jools

Btw: Are we not to post youtube links, as i only noticed them when quoting?

Just checked RTE,saw they had Baz on and they were talking about Im a Celeb with Nadia Forde

Was that my eyes, or was Baz's muscles that big, although that wasn't the only thing that was in your face with Kathryn's titillating coverage, i mean you'll put someone's eye out with that, tuned out cos of that:rolleyes:

Turned over to Jools Holland

wtf? RTE spend five minutes talking to people in the crowd about them all wanting to see Fat Boy Slim, before introducing the big star himself and then going to a break.

Another great job RTE, well done.

I saw that, i only saw a min of that before going to a break, FatBoySlim got skimmed off

Clips from Italia 90 on RTE now, jesus wept, to accompany Packie Bonner.

But yeah, i thought TV3 were bad during the rugby

No Mel C, 2016 off to a good start

She was on Alan Carr's show sitting next to Danny Dyer & she couldn't understand him, lol:D, him & his cockney ryhming slang, mutton+lamb could have been mentioned
But Kelly Brook, made up for it

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?

Go Harvey Go wrote: »

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.

Can't believe i missed her performance, at what time of the night was that on, as i was switching over btwn BryanAdams & Jools, but did catch Tom doin his sexbomb thang!

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.

It's called the Imelda May show, and it's bloody awful.
It's basically replicating the Jools format, but just fails miserably.

Always watch Jools on New Year's Eve but it was a bit disappointing this year do I settled for the best Bond song programme and Goldfinger on the light entertainment channel (ITV). Seen Goldfinger many times but for me it sums up Bond in the 60s,great locations, beautiful women, gadgets and a great John Barry soundtrack!
