Hootenanny is an annual show presented by Jools Holland and broadcast on New Year's Eve as an end of year special of his television series Later... with Jools Holland . It is generally broadcast between 11pm on 31 December and around 1am the following morning in the United Kingdom on BBC Two.

The pre-recorded show features a Hogmanay party atmosphere with all the guests (drawn from across the world of showbusiness) and other guest audience members present, and the artists themselves getting involved alongside a variety of musical acts by the artists from various genres who perform both before and after midnight. There is a countdown to the midnight start of the New Year, followed by a traditional rendition of "Auld Lang Syne", often with the Pipes and Drums of the Scots Guards. Among the regular events of the evening is the spot where Holland asks actor and comedian Rowland Rivron his predictions for the year ahead/his New Year's resolutions. Editions also feature a white-suited man with a clock for a face named Father Time or Clockman.

Pre-recording controversy

The BBC itself has admitted that the show is not broadcast live and is instead "an idealised New Year's Eve party with a line-up that would surely be impossible to deliver on December 31".[1] The BBC once made a mistake by mistiming the pretend 12 midnight so that when the show went out it included repeated mentions of New Year's Eve instead of New Year's Day well after the real stroke of midnight.[1]

2006/07 edition

Acts that appeared in 2006/07 included James Mass, the Zutons and Seasick Steve. Comedian Adrian Edmondson, a regular on the show, was joined by Jools and his band to perform a swing version of the Sex Pistols song "Anarchy in the U.K." Also appearing on the show was Amy Winehouse collaborating with Paul Weller on two tracks, "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" and "Don't Go to Strangers", originally recorded by Etta Jones.

Kate Rusby sang "Fare Thee Well" as midnight struck, accompanied by the 1st Battalion of Scots Guards.
