Jools' jaunt across the UK with his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra is underway!

Appearing on the Spring/Summer leg (on all dates, except on Saturday 15th June at Bergenfest) is former Fine Young Cannibals frontman Roland Gift, who returns as special guest for the second year running. The singer had huge success with the Fine Young Cannibals during the 1980s, with a No. 1 UK album 1988's 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.

Pop icon and former Spice Girl Melanie C will join the party for the Autumn/Winter dates, commencing Thursday 31st October in Southend. Her solo musical career has seen two Number 1 singles, six Top 10 singles, as well as performances on the theatre stage in Blood Brothers and Jesus Christ Superstar.

With long-time drummer Gilson Lavis, vocalists Ruby Turner and Louise Marshall, and acclaimed trombonist Rico Rodriguez, along with the peerless musicianship of the rest of the Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, Jools Holland will perform tracks spanning his entire solo career, as well as songs taken from his latest album The Golden Age Of Song.
