Sadly, these so called "Talent Shows for Music or whatever, are today a complete joke I.m.h.o.
Start at the top and work your way downwards!!!
So many of our own generation heroes worked their backsides off in crappy clubs , pubs etc learning their
musical craft the hard way before even a sniff of a recording contract.
I might be wrong, but in the current series of Later With Jools Holland, no actual 60s Legends have appeared which
says it all.
Some of the recent acts scrape the barrel and Jools face tells it all, acts he was Told to feature.
To his credit, sometimes good jazz and blues featured by up and coming artists, and he certainly warms to this
especially if gets a wee shottie of the piano to back the artistes!!!
