ICBM

Shouldn't that be looking backward, since it will already have been recorded?

TTony

It's my traditional NYD watching, whilst we're packing all the Christmas decs away.

joneve

Hmm..Might record it this year. I find it hard to believe Paul Weller won't somehow manage to sneak in an appearance.

EricTheWeary

Well, he is capable of getting the worst out of people sometimes on this, Wilko Johnson but backed by a horn section and singing Rivers of Babylon or something. Iplayer sometime on New Years Day.

Bellycaster

Usually end up watching this and looks a good line up so I'll look forward to that.

I just turn it on for the marching band at the end. Pretty much ruined now that I know it's not live.

richardhomer

Just can't be arsed with it these days.

The enforced bonhomie and bawling of the word 'Hootenany' actually make me want to slam the lid on Jools's piano on his boogie-woogie fingers....

PermanentWaves

Funny. I enjoy watching it every year. Maybe because I am pissed!

Nunogilberto

Where are the token African singers and random rapper types? And Elbow?

EricTheWeary

Suitably half arsed performance by Wilko. MrsTheWeary having gone to bed, the teenagers doing online games so I'm distracting myself with this rather than going round next door and screaming F**k off and go live somewhere else you crow faced bint!

EricTheWeary

Eric Jr lookalike Ed Sheeran now. Oh dear.

Yeah I noticed the Crashocaster. 

I bet that's worth a few quid. He usually plays a PRS P22 when he's doing electric stuff.

I like Ed Sheeran. The guy's got skills. 

EricTheWeary

EricJr and his girlfriend perked up for that, they like him and went to see him live a few months ago. Entertaining an arena full with just an acoustic and a looper is no mean feat. Although, he ain't Stevie Wonder....

Happy new Year my friend,  you have made my new year with that, and put a smile back on my face...  

You have no idea how near the truth that is for me too...

Worryingly this applies to me too!

Paloma Faith is no Tina Turner either.

All pretty poor to be honest. Maybe I'm still too sober...

axisus

Stuff Jools, I've had Queen with Lambert on and it's been fantastic, a great way to see the new year in!

She doesn't seem to be able to differentiate a cover from karaoke.

I like how Paul Whitehouse was reluctant to play the "this is going out live" game

Thought it was a much better lineup than last year, my mate went to the recording and Ray Davis had to have the words to Lola on xxl cue cards, sad.

Highlights for me have been 

Joss Stone

Ellie Golding singing blame it on the boogie.

Paloma Faith just because she makes me laugh.

Boz Scaggs singing LIDO takes me back.

Wilko rough but ready but hey the guy just kicked cancers arse so fair play. 

still playing so sure there will be more
