The acts have got worse over the years.

When do they record it ? September ?

Early December...  This year it was December 7th.

In my first New Year not spent with others, just me and the wife this year relaxing in peace and quiet, I've got BBC Alba on in the background and the ropey TV signal makes me think it's like the 1970s all over again...  That said, it may just be the bottle of prosecco and substantial amounts of whisky...

No you don't, go out, turn the channel over, do something else, but stop chuffing moaning about it

I'm old enough to remember Andy, "Donald Where's Your Troosers?", Stewart's The White Heather Club being the highlight of NYE TV. Jools is infinitely more enjoyable than that! :fie:

Glad to know I wasn't alone in my suffering...

And no, the off switch wasn't an option. I used to spend NYE with my grandparents as a kid, NYE was also my grandad's birthday, and the Andy Stewart show was compulsory viewing.

I've appeared on one of his albums. It was one of the best experiences of my professional life. I love his music.

Gwon then, give us a few stanzas of "Donald where's your trousers"

Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low.......

Ah, Jools "one tune" Holland. The man who killed Rhythm and Blues.

The version of "Bring it on home to me"   was the best I've heard since Sam Cooke

hardly once a year, his show has been on since 1992 and has seen some great acts come and go although i agree the new year shows are not what they where.

 

also the beeb should be indebted to him as his show is one of their biggest earners.

Didn't hear it but I can't see it being better than Eric Burdon singing it.

I bought the Animals version in 1965,  and it's good, but IMO Sam Cooke's version is better.  The B side of the Animals single is IMO their best recording of all

I thought the guitar solo on Angels was the best musicianship of the night.

Unfortunately Robbie Williams tried his best to ruin it - however the guitarist managed to bring out a little improvisation. It must have been galling for him to play so adroitly then hear Robbie unable to keep quiet.

Did anyone else see it after the fireworks?

Where are you staying?

At Piperdam, just north west of Dundee, towards Coupar Angus.  Not our first choice of place, when we're here on our own we prefer staying at Strathyre, near Callander (west of Stirling).  Piperdam is much better with friends, we usually get the big Foresters Exec lodges with one or more of our friend couples, it's big enough that we can still get plenty of peace.  Last minute decision to take Christmas and New Year off so we had to take what was available.

 

Heading home soon back to work and normal life...
