Summary
The definitive oral history of the UK’s longest-running live music show, Later… with Jools Holland
Since its launch in late 1992, the BBC’s ‘Later….with Jools Holland’ has been widely regarded as the world’s foremost music programme, showcasing a huge variety of bands, singers and musicians in a live performance setting. Now in its 50th series ‘Later…’ has broadcasted over 300 episodes.
‘Later…’ is presented by musician and broadcaster Jools Holland and over the course of over 25 years has given a platform to both established and up-and-coming artists, many of whom have gone on to incredible success. The legends who have appeared on the show include Sir Paul McCartney, Robert Plant, U2, David Bowie, Van Morrison and Lou Reed, while artists such as Adele, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Amy Winehouse, Seasick Steve and Ryan Adams all cut their teeth here.
The book will be a definitive, celebratory oral history of the show—and the last three decades of music more generally—featuring interviews with many of those who have performed over its quarter century. Compiled by the show’s creator and producer, Mark Cooper, Later will have access to the unique photographic record of André Csillag (who has photographed the show and its stars from inception). With the express support of Jools Holland and the BBC, the book will showcase the artistic talent that has graced the show over its quarter century with exclusive interviews, never-before-seen ephemera and a behind-the-scenes look into music scenes from Britpop to Grime.

Thanks for the history.
We have watched later for decades. I suppose growing up with John Peel naturally led on to Later. So interesting to hear the behind the camera story of how it was all put together and the effort involved. I remember so many of the discoveries that made careers. I have to say especially Seasick Steve but also Ed Sheeran. Adele and Amy Winehouse. We went to see the Kaiser Chiefs because of the performance on Later.
Wonderful that there is a book that records this amazing history of Later. It makes a world of difference that they bagged Jools at the start. A partnership that holds it all together with a twinkle. Thank you Mark Cooper and the team for the music.

An interesting story but terrible delivery
Have been an avid viewer of the show since its inception, so I was eagerly anticipating this book, on the whole it is an interesting listen, but I got the impression that the author was holding back on some of the more salacious details regarding the behaviour of the shows performers......imo it would have benfitted from some more dirt dishing..........Why is Van Morrison such an a'hole ? (everyone says it so it must be true 😁)
In addition to this it isn't just the word piano that the narrator has problems pronouncing, he is also incapable of saying the word remember (renember) which gets quite grating in a book whose main theme is reminiscence.

What the f is a P&O?
The story is interesting but the narration isn't great. The Author is, at the moment finding it impossible to pronounce the word "Piano" and is pronouncing it like the Ferry company! P&O!.

I was really looking forward to this, but....
The book is full of great stories from the show, but for some reason I had a really hard time finishing it. The narration didn't help maybe? Although I think that a little harsh for saying. I ended up treating it as the sort of book you come back to in smaller chunks. Some very enjoyable stories in there but not my usual page turner
