Jools' Annual Hootenanny — Season 1, Episode 17: Jools’ 17th Annual Hootenanny

Episode synopsis

Joining Jools’ Rhythm & Blues Orchestra are Sir Tom Jones with classic moments from his songbook and the odd rousing soul cover; Boy George with classic Culture Club numbers and a song that reflects on his stay in Pentonville; and Paolo Nutini with tunes from his bestselling album Sunny Side Up, plus a Wynonie Harris cover. Also performing are three young women who've broken big this year: Shingai Shoniwa with a big band version of her Noisettes’ smash Don't Forget The Rhythm from their album Wild Young Hearts; Florence The Machine with a couple of songs from her bestselling debut Lungs, plus a classic Nina Simone number with the Orchestra; also Paloma Faith with the song New York from her debut album Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful? and a Dinah Washington cover. Classic British guitarist Dave Edmunds reprises his 1968 speed-crazed guitar hit Sabre Dance, plus there are cameos from Orchestra stalwarts Ruby Turner and Rico Rodriguez.
