Jools Holland Quotes

A good example of the modern world is the Eurotunnel. And mobile phones - I like them Picture Quote #1

I have realised how exciting and easy it is to be a time traveller by looking at paintings and films and architecture and playing music or listening to it. I don’t think you necessarily have to live in the present all the time Picture Quote #1

Music can lift the spirit; it can make you cry. Soldiers have marched into battle to music. It’s a powerful thing Picture Quote #1

I learned from Van Morrison and BB King that the first take is the best. It’s about capturing a moment. It’s the same as love’s first kiss. If you try to do it again, it doesn’t work so well Picture Quote #1

Everybody in my extended family helped to raise me, and I realise now how lucky I was to grow up among kind folk Picture Quote #1

The piano has disappeared from working-class family life, which is a shame. It’s associated with the middle classes now.
