I had had a few drinks by that point. Perhaps it was the rosy glow of nostalgia. Or something. At least she has some good tunes unlike 90% of the rubbish that gets on that show. Christine & The Queens? Don't give up yer day job sweetheart.

In my humble opinion, Later... with Jools Holland is at best bland with the occasional interesting act. I mean how many times do we need to see Tom Bloody Jones on the show! On the other hand I don't mind Jools Holland.
Bring back The Whistle Test and/or The Tube I say. British music television needs a right good kick up the jacksie!
