KT Tunstall - Black Horse and the Cherry Tree

The latest series of Jools Holland is just about to start. It is still one of the most pivotal music programs in the history of this country. I think it is because you have the right mix of established bands and new acts. Though Jools Holland can be a bit stilted with his delivery at times his presenting is an essential part of the show. For me the most exciting moments are when a new act gains their first taste of national prominence, even though you aren't quite aware of them. It was definitely the case when KT Tunstall first appeared with her loop pedal and performed "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree". As a last minute replacement for Nas she turned in a wonderful performance and proceeded to sell lots of copies of her debut album. Here's hoping that there will be many new acts to excite the public in the forthcoming series!
