For me this year's Hootenanny was an improvement on the previous 3 years, but that's not saying much compared to how good it was 8 or 10 years ago. For me it was the reduced number of very old stars singing to boogie-woogie that meant it was better.
So, what would your ideal Hootenanny look like? I've put together a framework below for you to build your suggestions against - copy and paste this into your reply and fill in the details. Just a bit of fun, but would be interesting to see how it would shape up. Everyone you list must still be alive.
Three performers who have come to prominence in the last 3 years or so:
-
-
-
One recently emerging performer who is a bit leftfield:
-
Peformer that never made it to Jool's programme but should've done:
-
The novelty act:
-
One "superstar" who turns out to be able to perform as if they were at the peak of their career:
-
Someone who has wowed you before on Hootenanny and you'd like to see them back on again:
-
Vocalists to perform their music with Jools, but Jools using his and the band's prodigious talent to play the vocalist's songs well, with no boogie-woogie-ification:
- Male:
- Female:
Finale:
-
Other rules about the format of the show:
