Later... with Jools Holland - Season 55

Season 55

Later… with Jools Holland returns with a special and very different series whilst it waits to return safely to its usual studio home at West London's Television Centre.

Filmed instead at his creative home, Jools is opening the doors to his unique South London recording studio from where he will host this run of six shows which, like the normal studio series, will celebrate all types of music, contemporary and classic, from across many genres.

Each week Jools will be joined - virtually - by a special guest who will talk him through their own musical journey, loves and influences, which will be illustrated by classic clips from the Later… archive.

Each programme will also have a focus on some of the new artists and music emerging in this unusual period, through VTs and special performances created for the show.

Even though it's a very different style of Later, Jools will continue to introduce new artists to the audience as he has done over the years, giving TV debuts to the likes of Adele, Dave, Christine & The Queens, Stormzy, Idles, Celeste, Arctic Monkeys, Amy Winehouse, Michael Kiwanuka and Sam Fender.
