#OnThisDay 1994 the very first Jools' Annual #Hootenanny was on TV in the UK and what an honour it was to be on that very first one with Dave Swift and Courtney Pine. Happy New Year to you all and thank you for all your love and support in 2018!

VIZ magazine UK: fame at last! Surely the next best thing to appearing in The Simpsons 😆
