Did You Know..
Jools Holland
(Host)
Best Known For:
His brilliant musicianship.
Early-life:
Born Julian Miles Holland on January 24, 1958, in Blackheath, London. He has twin younger brothers, Richard and Christopher. He comes from a working-class background; his father, Derek, had stints as a mini cab driver and chef, but was keen on art, music and literature. Jools' parents split when he was 11, and he spent time living with his maternal grandparents, who let him play their piano. He claims that everyone in his family could sing and play, but that he's the first of them to turn it into a career.
Career:
Holland's professional career began as a session musician, but in 1974 he became a founding member of the pop band Squeeze, but he left in 1981 to pursue a solo career. He also hosted TV show The Tube with Paula Yates from 1982 to 1987. He also rejoined Squeeze from 1985 to 1990, since when he's concentrated on his solo career with the 18-piece Rhythm & Blues Orchestra. In 1992 Holland began hosting Later... with Jools Holland, a hugely successful series that showcases musical talent from across the globe - it's still enormously popular, as is its New Year spin-off Jools' Annual Hootenanny.
Quote:
"The piano has disappeared from working-class family life, which is a shame. It's associated with the middle classes now."
Trivia:
The design of Holland's recording studio, Helicon Mountain, was inspired by the 1960s TV series The Prisoner, of which he is a massive fan.
