Jools' Annual Hootenanny is a British music television New Year's Eve show broadcast by BBC Two in the United Kingdom since 1994. Its presenter is Jools Holland, and his 19 piece big band, Jools Holland's Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, both performs and accompanies many of the guest stars. His show Later... with Jools Holland, which began two years earlier, is similar in format but nowadays rarely include his big band.

From the show's inception until 1996/97, it began at midnight, preceded by a BBC Two alarm clock ident, and going straight into Auld Lang Syne played by the Pipes and Drums of the Scots Guards. Since 1997/98, the show has begun before midnight, nowadays around 11:30 p.m., with Holland himself inviting the audience and viewers to join in a countdown. It usually lasts around 2 hours, ending at approximately 1:30 a.m. "Hootenanny" is a term of Appalachian origin referring to a rowdy musical party.

The advance-recorded show features a Hogmanay party atmosphere with all the guests (drawn from across the world of showbusiness) and other guest audience members present, and the artists themselves getting involved alongside a variety of musical acts by the artists from various genres who perform both before and after midnight. There is a countdown to the midnight start of the New Year, followed by a traditional rendition of "Auld Lang Syne", normally with the Pipes and Drums of the Scots Guards. Among the regular events of the evening is the spot where Holland asks actors and comedians Rowland Rivron and Vic Reeves their predictions for the year ahead/their New Year's resolutions. Editions also feature a white-suited man with a clock for a face named Father Time or Clockman.

Production The show is pre-recorded (usually in early to mid-December in recent years), but is presented as if live, with a countdown to midnight and references to the new calendar year. The BBC has described the show as "an idealised New Year's Eve party with a line-up that would surely be impossible to deliver on 31 December".

2006/07 edition Acts that appeared in 2006/07 included the Zutons and Seasick Steve. Comedian Adrian Edmondson, a regular on the show, was joined by Jools and his band to perform a swing version of the Sex Pistols song "Anarchy in the U.K." Also appearing on the show was Amy Winehouse collaborating with Paul Weller on two tracks, "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" and "Don't Go to Strangers", originally recorded by Etta Jones.

Kate Rusby sang "Fare Thee Well" as midnight struck, accompanied by the 1st Battalion Scots Guards.
