Well, what does the future hold for Jools Holland? I just watched him and his great band at the Hay Festival and he and they are still legends!

[@MoosaHosseini]

he is a legend. God bless him.

My gratitude to you Jools remains constant, as over the years you have been my inspiration and I am like you somebody who believes that music and being able to play an instrument allows one to focus, reflect and cope with life. So with the utmost respect.

He’s right, Jools’ music does move you and it always makes my soul smile! This production was fantastic!

he is just so interesting to listen to. His passion comes through with everything he says. And his playing is, of course, off the charts.

My parents married in 1953 and took a reasonable apartment in Manchester. My mother-to-be sent dad out to buy some furniture. He came back with a grand piano. Just a grand piano. The apartment was on the second floor. Not sure my mother ever forgave him haha

How refreshing to see an OU presentation which isn't a load of political baloney. Jordan Peterson was embarrassing.

[@ivorharden]

you can still play the guitar with one hand eg hammer on and pull offs.

[@Nickbaldeagle02]

This university gave us Rees Mogg and Boris Johnson. Ofsted should close it down as not fit for purpose.

[@NipItInTheBud100]

All university is meant to do is educate! What a person chooses to do with said education is on the individual!
