Think most will know but to those who don't Sparks are on Later with Jools this week 15th June 10pm and on the BBC iplayer if you miss it..This will be the first time they have appeared as Sparks in their own right and about time too..I would imagine Jools will have a chat with Ron & Russ around the piano at some point.

| Yes, I'm really looking forward to this "Later with Jools Holland" appearance as well. Can't believe it's been 10 years since FFS appeared on that show which was great as well. |

Wow Simon is it really 10 years since the FFS appearance,That is scary.It was a great Performance..It's great exposure as it gets about a million viewers when the iplayer viewings are added.

| Having just watched this, Russell's singing seemed a bit below par I thought? Especially on the "Do Things My Own Way" track. |

@SteveBoyce
Yes, l thought Russell was a wee bit wobbly at the very beginning which surprised me because l'd just watched the Tokyo concert which was wonderful.... However, he does have quite a vibrato in his voice which may be just more obvious in a more intimate setting.....
I thought they were excellent on Jools Holland..... (and shame on Jools for not having Sparks on before now!!!) |

Nice to see the band got a decent chunk of the show's runtime, with two songs and an interview. About time too!
