Yeah, the title kind of says it all really, but thought I'd put it out there and see what happens...Was sat watching Jools Holland last night, and chatting with my housemate, and basically taking the piss out of some select Holland mannerisms, when it struck me that you could do a Friends/Dallas/Eastenders/whatever-type drinking game with Hootenanny...
This then led to a longer than it probably deserved conversation about what the rules and forfeits would be etc. But, here we go for now:
Take 1 sip of your drink every time:
- Jools (and only Jools) shouts "Hootenanny" (to avoid complete annihilation within 5 minutes if Al Murray is on again...)
- Jools describes an artist as either "legendary", "fabulous" or "wonderful"
- Jools blows on one of those novelty party horn things usually found at children's birthday parties
- Jools plays piano with a guest act
Take 2 sips of your drink every time:
- Jools references a cameraperson by name (i.e. Eric the camera man) or drags the camera around in a motion-sickness-inducing-fashion to show something else
- A comedian sings (or attempts to sing) a song (under any circumstance)
- A trumpet player from the Rhythm and Blues Orchestra is filmed having a boogie (to be multiplied by number of players dancing at the time)
Take 3 sips of your drink every time:
- Jools mentions "Squeeze"
- A Scottish artist is featured prominently (interview/performance)
- A guest swears...
Down your drink if:
- Jools says "Boogie woogie piano" (bit of an in-joke in our household)
- Jools plays an instrument other than the piano
- Radiohead appear on the show
- Jools swears
"Happy New Year" section:
- Down your drink at the end of the countdown/on strike of 12
- refill drink, link hands in Auld Lang Syne stylee and try to drink your drink whilst doing the dance (we accept no liability or responsibility for any damage caused to carpet, soft furnishings or clothing sustained during the above activity)
Live Band Wildcard - if any of the above happens during an act that someone in the room has seen perform live, the forfeit for the action is double for everyone else in the room, unless they too have seen that band perform live.
As we are out gigging on New Year's Eve we will be doing this late afternoon of New Year's Day, but if anyone wants to try this out on the evening and let us know the results once they have woken up/the activated charcoal has kicked in/been discharged from hospital that'd be lovely. Or alternatively, if anyone wants to join us around 3pm on New Year's Day, give us a shout!!
