I've had a chat with Jools Holland about meeting his heroes, near misses, and a time and place in TV that doesn't exist any more: radiotimes.com/tv/entertainm… His fantastic 1985 documentary Walking to New Orleans is showing again this Sunday from 9.30pm on BBC Four. @RadioTimes
Back in the day - when I was Head of Arts at Channel 4 - I commissioned a music show called The White Room. It was great fun to make. I remember when Prince was on… He later married the dancer! m.youtube.com/watch?v=GWGo4X…
HUGE congratulations to @daisybecktv and all who worked on it. Pictured are Producer / Director @ClarkeGed, Associate Producer @laidlaw_ray, and Executive Producer @malcolmgerrie. No doubt Geoff Wonfor, our much-missed colleague and executive producer, is there in spirit...
I’m crushed by the dreadful news tonight. R.I.P Jeff. All my love to Sandra and family.

Ella Fitzgerald (at the back of the bus) in an an Abbott and Costello western. Apparently her bit was cut out to assist the sensibilities of southern audiences. Here we have the rest of the film cut out to assist modern sensibilities.

If you ever need cheering up just remember that every July thousands of Kate Bush fans gather around the world to perform Wuthering Heights dressed head to toe like Kate Bush herself

Caught up with last Friday's impressive BBC4 documentary about the life and music of Lindisfarne's much-missed Alan Hull. So many timeless songs. Without question he was one of UK's greatest songwriters.
It really wasn’t long enough! This is such a great watch. Very moving and utterly fascinating. Watch again on iPlayer BBC Four - Lindisfarne’s Geordie Genius: The Alan Hull Story bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0011vb…
Just watched a wonderful documentary on @BBCFour_ about the late great Alan Hull. Wonderful singer songwriter with @lindisfarneband. Just a magical hour presented by @samfendermusic. An absolutely lovely tribute to a musical genius.
It was a wild and fascinating experience presenting this documentary about one of the most incredible and underrated songwriters that this country has ever seen. ‘Lindisfarne's Geordie Genius: The Alan Hull Story’ airs on BBC4 tonight at 9pm 📺
