Lädt ... Barefaced Lies and Boogie-Woogie Boastsvon Jools Holland
![]() Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. ![]() ![]() A quick and easy read, mainly because it breezes across the surface of a very interesting career. Lots of anecdotes and endless name-dropping - quite fun to start with, but by the end I was wishing for a bit more insight and a bit less "my good friend Kate Moss" blah blah blah. For me the real value was in making me look up some of the old boogie-woogie artists and learn a bit more. Jools Holland has in recent years become a British institution, first as the keyboard player for Squeeze and then as compere of the excellent "Later with Jools Holland", which features performances by famous and not-yet-famous musicians of all genres. This is Mr Holland's memoir and it's an easy read. Fans will probably hear his humour-filled irreverance while they read; non-fans who are interested in the mind of a (very talented) musician will also find it worthwhile.

Jools Holland has had a fascinating life. From playing on bomb sites as a boy in the East End, to skiving off school and then selling millions of records with Squeeze, the first twenty years of his life were eventful, chaotic and colourful. Then came The Tube with Paula Yates, the seminal live music programme that propelled him to fame. Over the following three decades, Jools succeeded in placing himself at the epicentre of a global community comprising just about anybody who is anybody in music. Through Later with Jools Holland, the longest-running music programme on television, he has given British TV debuts to countless now world famous bands. Packed with hilarious anecdotes written in Holland's own inimitable style and laced with quirky insights and deliciously acute detail, this autobiography by one of Britain's most gifted and debonaire musicians is not just for music fans, but for anyone who is looking for something several cuts above the conventional showbiz memoir.
