Later ... With Jools Holland: 30 Years of Music, Magic and Mayhem

Product Information

with Jools Hollandpulls back the curtain on classic performances to reveal that the show is just as magical, if even more chaotic, than you imagined. Part of what has made the show so special is the format – all those bands, singers, stars and newbies brought together to listen as well as to perform in Jools’ circle of dreams.

Written by the shows co-creator and 26-year showrunner, music journalist Mark Cooper, this is the story of how Later grew into a musical and TV institution.Later’s New Year’s Eve spin-off show, Hootenanny, back this year as a big-ticket item for the first time since 2019, came together, like its progenitor, as much by opportunity as by design. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. I'm still likely to get a drink or visit the loo when those contributions are playing cos they do nothing for me but at least I appreciate the reason for including these acts now. This first-hand account of the BBC's Later… with Jools Holland takes you behind the scenes of one of the world's great musical meeting places. The idea then occurred to him that perhaps it would make sense to put all these different styles of performance in one room and film them.

I am in my sixties and being British, I never saw these dvds -or videos as they used to be -because they were not screened in the UK . Dave Grohl and Alicia Keys loved it, Björk treasured it, Ed Sheeran’s life was changed by it, Kano felt at home while Nick Cave was horrified but inspired, and they all kept coming back. Across three decades on BBC Two, and more recently on iPlayer as well, it has, of course evolved – changing studios, running times, transmission time and, for a while, was even broadcast live.It was Mark who had to explain to Jay-Z why he couldn’t just do his numbers and split, who told Seasick Steve why he had to play ‘Dog House Boogie’ on the Hootenanny and persuaded Johnny Cash that he simply had to come in, even when The Man in Black wasn’t feeling well.
