Day Will Be a Holiday by William Bell. George's Hall which always has. Everyone has played. I was on the One Show yesterday with Katherine. Jenkins. She needed a note to start singing.

However, the band would have none. In that mood of kindness, I felt like I ought. U2 when they came on the show this week. I gave them a bottle, just the one, of Shepherd. Neame ale to share. And they thanked me kindly. I think. They were absolutely dazzling and sensational. Bono's voice has never been. They don't do very much TV at all and. Later.. I also discovered that their. Larry has always been a huge fan of Gilson. Squeeze. together. We gigged with U2 in Belfast years ago. An army checkpoint. Being found in the boot of a. Northern Ireland. Of course, Squeeze being. So Larry reminded me of that, which. I've been concentrating on my own music as we're. We've been playing. I write with Dr. I've. But I must just say how. I enjoyed Dave and Phil Alvin – The.

He's an amazing musician and. More news about that next week – see. Friday 1. 7th October 2. This week we've been in Ireland. I brought. my big raincoat with me and on the way over everyone. Well, they're not laughing now. We had. a great crowd in Killarney, we did a version of. Down. The Road Apiece, but now it gets spooky. We'd never played. Labrinth. came to see the show when he was about 1. I noticed that as a pianist he uses his. Rumer. sounded so glamorous it was amazing – it. Aston Martins. Then there was Ibeyi. They're the twin daughters. Cuban percussionist Anga Diaz, and. This was their first TV appearance ever. We had Adam. Cohen, the great Rival. Sons and Holly. Johnson too. When Holly's old band Frankie. Goes To Hollywood burst onto the scene. Rome- before- it- fell image. The Tube, of course. It's so good. to see him – I was very pleased to have him.

He was making experimental. Indian music to the. He was. so ahead of the game – and producing other. He was very close to Billy Preston. George who got Billy to come in at the. The Beatles and make everyone more polite. I made 'Horse To Water' with George. So we're getting the tour properly underway now. Dublin next. We always have a good time.

Randolph is the greatest pedal- steel player. Spotifiers should check. He can actually make his instrument speak. He's a great instrumentalist. R& B rather. than country. I thought Benjamin. Booker had a brilliant energy about him. What he plays is. I loved it. He inspired me to. Moon. Mullican, a Western Swing figure from. Seven Days to Rock'. Howlin'. Wolf's 'Howlin' Wolf Boogie'. Whenever. I hear Howlin' Wolf's voice it makes me happy. I think that might be true for any red- blooded. Spotify follower. Ben. Howard was very good, Gary Kemp and Steve. Norman from Spandau were great, as was Melanie. De Biasio. Jessie Ware was brilliant –. Manics, just gets better. I love it when people do that –. I'll hush it up. Over on the Radio 2 show I had Ali Campbell and. Midlands –. that was such a big deal at the time. Ali, of. course, comes from a very musical family and he. We. did 'Kingston Town' together and that was lovely. Jamaican music. Nice to see Ali. Campbell as he was recently on on my radio. It's really interesting. Ian. Campbell – and what effect Birmingham. Have a listen to. Radio 2 show for that. Elsewhere on the show Future. Islands' singer Samuel did some truly. Now, Spotify is fantastic for. Later.. It's really quite something, but I'll leave. Jamie. T was on too and he was great – I. Victoria Smith, who used to play with The. Big Pink, she was very, very good indeed. She was superb, we played at the. She had wanted to do 'Up Above. My Ahead' – originally done by Sister. Rosetta Tharpe back in 1. I found this version by Rod Stewart and Long John. Baldry. On the cover Rod looks about 1. That's a classic Spotify. I never knew they'd done that song. I once. wrote a song with Beverley called 'Where In The. World' and I. Now, I know we talked about Mary J. She is the. first person I've ever met in my life who performs. Nobody does that anymore. She told me she'd always wanted. I'd love to. know what the Spotify people first snogged to. I just hope it's a happy. See you next week! Saturday 1. 3th September 2. My usual drummer Gilson is. I've been playing with the. Neal Wilkinson and he's been telling me. Earl. Palmer.
