jools hollands later, and his annual hootenanny are by a million miles the only tv music shows worth watching. real music played by real musicians to an audience of their peers. its superb tv, and the new years eve show is the pick of the years. last nights was upto their usual high standard, although im not really a fan of seasick steve, even before his real backstory came out revealing the old 'hobo bumming round the midwest was a complete fabrication and that he has lived his adult life making a decent living as a session musician, his music is just a bit bland for me. even before it came out that it was all fake. if thats the sort of stuff you like, check out 'the reverend paytons big damn band' similar stuff but much more bluesy and authentic home grown banjo pluckin stuff.
