Jools's Annual Hootenanny S2020E01 - 2020

After a thoroughly eventful year, Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra reunite to joyfully welcome in a new year with his annual Hootenanny. As we wave goodbye to 2020 and look forward to 2021, Jools invites another spectacular cast of guest artists to help put on the best party in town, whilst also taking the time to reflect on the years gone by with some of the best performances in the illustrious Hootenanny archive.

Joining Jools and his orchestra in the studio this year are Celeste, Sir Tom Jones, Michael Kiwanuka, Roisin Murphy, Rag'n'Bone Man, Rick Wakeman, Ruby Turner and the Pipes and Drums of the 1st Batallion Scots Guards.

Jools also takes a look back at some of the incredible Hootenanny performances from the archive, including the likes of Jamiroquai, Rudimental and Ella Eyre, Madness, ABC and Aloe Blacc, promising a musical celebration with a nostalgic nod to the past, a warm welcome to the year ahead and plenty of bangers!
