With girl group Sugababes, London rockers Wolf Alice, wordsmith Kae Tempest, Nigerian-born Obongjayar, Donegal’s George Houston and folk legend Peggy Seeger.
Jools welcomes one of the most successful British girl groups of the 21st century, Sugababes, fresh off their huge arena tour. They perform a couple of their singles, including Jungle and a treat from their back catalogue of number 1 hits, while Mutya, Keisha and Siobhán chat to Jools about their journey as a band.
Wolf Alice return to the show to perform the single Bloom Baby Bloom from their album The Clearing, and Jools chats to Ellie Rowsell and Theo Ellis from the band about some of the inspirations behind the record.
Jools also welcomes musician and wordsmith Kae Tempest to perform a couple of tracks from their album Self Titled, produced by the Grammy-winning Fraser T Smith and featuring the likes of Neil Tennant and Young Fathers.
From Nigeria, now based in London, singer-songwriter Obongjayar performs his track Not in Surrender, taken from his album Paradise Now, which has been described as blending 'some of his most daring ideas yet with [his] passion for pop impulses'.
Hailing from Donegal and completing the performing line-up is 23-year-old singer, songwriter and musician George Houston, following his tour with Paul Weller. He performs his track Lilith from his album TODC, described as his 'boldest, most personal project to date'.
Jools also chats at the piano to the grande dame of American and British folk music, Peggy Seeger, as she embarks on what she says is her ‘Final Farewell Tour’ in celebration of her 90th birthday and 70 years in music.
