Hi everyone,

Just to let you know, Mavis Staples is appearing on Jools Holland's 'Hootenanny' show (UK) on BBC2, New Year's Eve!

Other guests include:

• Franz Ferdinand
  
• Eric Clapton
  
• Ian Hunter
  
• Jamie Cullum
  
• Amy Winehouse
  
• Natasha Bedingfield
  

That's all the info I have at the moment, sorry. I read this on the music news page (p351) on Ch4's Teletext this morning.

If she sings 'God Is Alive' - unlikely I know - I'll be Fingers crossed!

Something just occurred to me...

It was only just recently that Prince appeared on a poll to gauge whether he should appear on Jools' show; maybe - just maybe - this could be a means of getting P to appear on it at a later date as well.

(Note to Mavis: you knows what to do!)

Ooh - This sounds a better line-up than last year.

Eric Clapton is one boring fucker though.

Mavis is a guest on Radio 2 next week on the Johnnie Walker show

I seem to recall (i may be wrong) that Prince & Mavis have fallen out
