Ring in 2027 with Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra! Jools’ Annual Hootenanny is back to celebrate the new year with a fantastic night of music.
As in years past, Jools will host a diverse group of musicians and a celebrity panel who will share their hopes and plans for the new year.
If you’re staying in this New Year’s Eve, don’t worry! The BBC has plenty of shows lined up to help you celebrate.
