AUTUMN/WINTER TOUR – WITH THREE SPECIAL GUESTS
Starting on Thursday 11th October 2012 at the Belfast Waterfront, the 34-date
Autumn/Winter tour will include some very special guests.
Folk-pop sensation KT Tunstall
will be making a guest appearance for eight dates (including the
Royal Albert Hall). The BRIT Award-winning Scottish
singer-songwriter originally broke into the music scene in 2004 when
she performed live on Later... with Jools Holland
and appeared on Jools' 2006 album Moving
Out To The Country on the track Darkness On The Face Of The Earth.
Marc
Almond will be making a special appearance at
ten dates, having sold over 30 million records worldwide
and made an unprecedented contribution to British popular
music. In addition to numerous hits during his time with
Soft Cell, including Tainted Love and Say
Hello Wave Goodbye, Marc went on to become an acclaimed
solo artist.
Another great addition to the line-up will be former Fine
Young Cannibals frontman Roland Gift on 17
dates of the tour. Roland's band had huge success during
the 1980s with a No. 1 UK album, The Raw and The Cooked,
and two No.1 hit singles She Drives Me Crazy and
Good Thing – the latter also holds the honour
of being the most successful record that Jools Holland
has ever guested on, after it went No. 1 in 17 countries.
With the astounding vocals of Ruby Turner,
Louise Marshall, and legendary
trombonist Rico Rodriguez, Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues
Orchestra will provide audiences with a foot-stomping,
show-stopping performance that never ever fails to leave
the audience wanting more.
