Jools Holland: London Calling
 
BBC HD 11.00~12.15

The performer embarks on a journey through the streets, landmarks, pubs, music halls and rock 'n' roll venues of London to uncover the history of the city through its songs and the people who wrote them. Along the way he meets Ray Davies, Damon Albarn, Suggs, Roy Hudd, Lisa Hannigan, Joe Brown and Eliza Carthy, who perform and talk about favourite numbers including Oranges and Lemons, While London Sleeps and Knocked 'Em in the Old Kent Road.

Yes, it does.  Maybe we'll get it on this side of the pond in a year or two.

I did a remix a while back for "The Imagined Village" where I remade Eliza into a 60s era Beach Blanket Bingo, Annette Funicello singing "Cold Hailey Windy Night" to surf doo wop.  They used to play it at their concerts while they were taking their bows.  I'm told it confused the heck out of the fans.  I hope she doesn't hold it against me.  She's a very fine singer and interpreter of song.  I think I get BBC HD and if so I'll DVR it.  Thanks so much for the heads up Straumy!!
