I am delighted to proclaim that this week's Earlier With Jools Holland is a special Christmas episode. Not only am I joined by my long-time musical collaborators Ruby Turner and our arranger and saxophonist, Phil Veacock. But also I’m joined by actor, writer and comedian Sally Philips. A seasonal episode crammed with Christmas treats, so please do join us to start the festive celebrations at midday on Saturday on BBC Radio 3. | Jools Holland

It was great to catch up with Florence from Florence and the Machine ahead of filming this week’s episode of Later… she is wonderful and unique . Particularly because she is the first artist on the show that I can remember to feature the enchanting sound of the glass harmonica . Tune in this Sunday at 10pm on BBC Two or on BBC iPlayer | Jools Holland
