I don't know whats going to happen when Jools Holland is no longer with us, but New Years Eve's will never be the same #JoolsAnnualHootenanny

After the ups and downs of this uncertain year in the UK, we've earned every glossy, sparky, musical moment of Jools Holland tonight

Happy New Year. Here's hoping that 2024 brings us all better things
