LATER with Jools - Missing Artists
Every Week during the season I look at the "LATER with Jools Holland" artist list hoping that certain bands will finally be on. I love the programme but... I would love to see:
Alpha
Alphawezen
Anouar Brahem
A Perfect Circle
Ben Christophers
Bill Callahan
Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Bugge Wesseltoft
Christy Moore
Engineers
Merz
Modest Mouse
The Knife
The Tragically Hip
Thirteen senses
Tool
UNKLE
A decent dubstep artist - Benga/Skream/Boxcutter/ - just once..
There maybe some errors in my list - i did check to see whether they have been on before..
Any one else have any views on artists that probably should be on ?

The one, the only...
Rush.
They'd be great. Especially if they just did old.
Reply to the OP
Christy Moore has been on, in 2006.
Ben Christophers
Good call. His first two albums are spectacularly good. Merz has actually been on Later, around the time his first album appeared.
My vote: Christine Collister. Come on Jools, get it sorted. Her manager told me years ago Jools is aware of her and indeed a fan, but she's never been on the show. A bloody travesty is what it is.
In fantasy land, Kate Bush would be on, performing the second disc of Aerial in its entirety...
Your last sentence...
***swoons***
ELO And XTC
Never Going to happen though
What I'd like...
...is for Jools to do more duets at the piano with his guests.
I always love those bits.
Very good!
To amuse myself I often try to imagine Jools Holland being bundled out of the way on his own show as he tries to lay down some tasty boogie woogie piano licks over music by Burial, Joanna Newsom, The Fall etc...
I often picture him in
an old cartoon, looking bemused as a piano falls out of the sky and onto his head. Bemused? Yes, because it's the best sound he's ever got out of one.
Unnecessary
He may be a crap interviewer but he's an excellent piano player.
More pop stars should do this.
Imagine ITV could have Later With Hooky... plugging his bass with everyone. Channel 5 could go for the cheaper Later With Shovel... where the much-missed M People percussionist does his stuff to Lou Reed (sistrum on The Kids), The Corrs (bongos on Breathless) and Tiny Tempah and duets with the likes of RT.
Later with Shovel...
...is genius. I bet you James Corden would be on it, somewhere too.
I'd like to see I Am Kloot and Midlake
and am surprised that neither have been on.
Midlake
are on next week
And
I'm going.
Hoorah.
Excellent!
Wonder why 'Kloot ain't been on, they were touring here when the series started?
Raspberries
They reunited a few years ago and were on great form live. Not sure what the state of play is now though (Eric Carmen has apparently had issues with alcohol of late). Yes, those 'at the piano' chats can be cheesy, but EC has enough of a pedigree for it to be worth enduring.
I would like to see them too.
Good call. Have an uppie.
Seasick Steve is not the beginning and the end of the blues
I'd love to see Jools give just a little time over to some of the UK's blues acts - Aynsley Lister, Oli Brown, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Davey Knowles. Not trendy enough I guess.
I'd watch that
Inevitably the answer is
Cowboy Junkies
Maybe Wilco, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Robert Fripp.
Cowboy Junkies
were on in 1996. Wilco have been on twice! [edit - Wilco have been on THREE times]
I'd like to see
iLikeTrains
Nina Nastasia
The National
You must have missed The National
Here are the Ewechoob links:
Another vote
For Christine Collister, preferably with Clive Gregson. Or each of them separately.
Ron Sexsmith
Nick Lowe
Joe Brown
Martin Simpson
Show of Hands
Nick Lowe
has been on fairly recently (think it was two years ago), at the same time as his former bandmate Dave Edmunds was plugging yet another "greatest hits" album. I was surprised that neither of them appeared to acknowledge the other.
Edit: Just remembered he was supporting Geraint Watkins on guitar so he wasn't officially credited for an appearance.
Nick Lowe
has been on twice, in 1994 & 2001
neil young
carry on...
Would like to see...
Someone who isn't trying to flog a single/album/dvd/autobiography being given the chance to appear on the show. Tour promotion, however, is acceptable.
Ooh..
Matthew Sweet for starters, obviously..
Turin Brakes
Have Steely Dan or Donald Fagen ever been on?
As usual....
the answer is The Dame. To announce a comeback album and world tour, the centrepiece of which would be a month-long residence at The Sun Inn in Beverley.
Bowie?
I'm 99% certain he's been on, I think when Heathen came out.
Bowie has definitely been
Bowie has definitely been on, I remember an amazing performance of Hello Spaceboy..... and here it is :)
He's also performed
the 'updated' version of Rebel Rebel on Later
List of all the bands here
Starting in 1992
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006ml0l/episodes/1992
I suspect these are just the Radio Times listings definitely some bands missing.
Would love to work out who has appeared most, my money is on Baaba Maal.
Baba Maal
has been on a measly 4 times. Whereas PJ Harvey has graced the show no less than 9 times, [which is a good thing IMO]. Unfortunately it's no surprise to note that Stereophonics have been on 8 times.
Most appearances?
I'm sure I read somewhere recently that Nick Cave holds the record, if you include Grinderman.
Later Top Trumps
9 Nick Cave (including solo appearances, with the Bad Seeds, duetting with Shane MacGowan and 2 with Grinderman)
9 Damon Albarn (four times with Blur, once each with Gorillaz, The Good, the Bad & the Queen, Kano, Afel Bocoum, Amadou & Mariam)
8 PJ Harvey (including an appearance with Tricky)
7 Paul Weller, Stereophonics
6 David Gray, Manic Street Preachers
5 The Beautiful South, Bjork, Elvis Costello ,Texas, Travis, Robbie Williams (once with the Blockheads), Thom Yorke (four times with Radiohead and once as a solo artist)
4 Suede, Van Morrison, Rufus Wainwright, Morrissey, Radiohead, Blur, Coldplay, Foo Fighters, Tom Jones, Jack White (twice each with Dead Weather and The White Stripes)
3 Massive Attack, Paul McCartney, Snow Patrol, Kaiser Chiefs, Muse, Dizzee Rascal
The Who...
...have never been on, have they?
Although in wish-list world, of course, one would like nothing more than to see a reunited Mahavishnu Orchestra Mk 1. While Jools tried to play his redundant boogie woogie embellishments in 13/8, of course.
The Who
were on in 2007
It's filmed in London
So, it's a long way for Daltrey and Townshend to travel, as we all know the Who Live in Leeds.
The Aphex Twin!
With some live windowlicking. And boogie woogie.
Good call on Anouar Brahem
He's a wonderful live performer, especially with Francois Couturier on the old joanna.
John McLaughlin
Doesn't do many impromptu tv slots, but when he does they're a bit good.
This was something he knocked out when in the midst of promoting his concerto for guitar and orchestra. He's about 25 years older than this clip but is still a hell of a musician and I'm sure he'd find something from the standards to play with Jools.
Mahavishnu... with vocals...
...Yes, its a pretty OTT clip that one, isn't it David? Cheese central. Shredded cheese, obviously...
While we're in the mood, here's the Maha & his associates on Swiss TV in 1974, with Chick Corea's wife Gayle on vocals...
Later is good at what it
Later is good at what it does, but it could occasionally afford to have less good taste. My line up:
Aphex Twin (thanks gangkesprocket)
Evan Parker (with Jools Holland duet?)
Keiji Haino
Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti
Peter Hammill
My Bloody Valentine (reformed for the occasion, if Kevin Shields can be bothered)
