We go back to the good old days.” Paul McCartney and Elton John are pals, Tom Jones, Bjork - the list goes on. “When we started people couldn’t look up the world on their phones, now they are confounded by choice. “Afterwards this man came storming up in the dressing room. “She was wandering back to her dressing room, and someone explained. “So Tom comes on the show and he said ‘Oh I like Jerry Lee’, and I like Jerry Lee, so we start playing a bit of Jerry Lee and we immediately hit it off the three of us (us and the piano).” It was a babyish attention seeking thing you might do as a young fellow of twenty years of age. He adds: “You get people on like that who are legends and you get awestruck, but when you’re playing you become the servant of the song together.” With Jools Holland, which celebrated its 30th anniversary on the

BBC Two's annual New Year's Eve show, Jools Holland Hootenanny returns to help bring in the new year.
