Jools Holland

I was lucky enough to see Jools Holland recently in an open air gig at Oakley Hall in Hampshire. It was the first time I’d seen Jools live, and I really hope it won’t be the last. I’d seen the Jools TV show which I always thought was incredible, but admit to not being too turned on by his CDs. So seeing him live confirmed my suspicion that it’s an act best experienced live. He has inate talent to get the crowd up and going – I’ve never seen so many people, tapping, clapping and getting down to the music. It’s hard enough to describe, so I’ll leave it at saying that if you have a chance to see him live – do it!
