On "Later... With Jools Holland"
14 December 07
Tonight (Friday 14th of December) on BBC 2 at 11.35pm, Beirut will be appearing on "Later... With Jools Holland".
They perform two songs from The Flying Club Cup during the show - "Nantes" and "A Sunday Smile" - as well as joining in with all the usual introductory "jam" with Jools shenanigans.
Unfortunately for those watching on TV and not in the studio audience, the band's impromptu performance of "Siki Siki Baba" was not recorded, and the other unforgettable moment from the evening - Ronnie Wood (of the Rolling Stones) running over to congratulate Beirut and get their autographs - won't be part of the broadcast version of the show.
Still, this remains one of the best bits of
Friday night broadcasting you're going to see - so even if it means setting up the video recorder, make sure that you don't miss it !
