Autumn/Winter Tour 2025 Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra will be joined on this tour by special guest Imelda May. One of Ireland's most celebrated artists, Imelda May was discovered by Jools, first supporting him on tour in 2008, and has gone on to perform alongside legendary artists including Lou Reed, Bono, Tom Jones, Noel Gallagher, Elvis Costello, Robert Plant, Van Morrison, Jeff Goldblum, and Ronnie Wood. She has performed all over the world in front of royalty and politicians including Barack Obama and at the 52nd Grammy Awards with Jeff Beck. With a dynamic blend of blues, rock, soul, gospel, and jazz, Imelda's self-written and produced album 'Love Tattoo' remains the best-selling album by a homegrown female artist in Ireland. Her electric performances promise an unforgettable experience for audiences. The tour will also mark an exciting new chapter as Ed Richardson is welcomed in as the orchestra's new drummer, following the retirement of the legendary Gilson Lavis. After starting out together in Squeeze, Gilson became a cornerstone of Jools' Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, keeping the beat over a span of several decades and retiring with an incredible legacy. Fans will be thrilled to hear that the shows will once again feature the incredible 'Queen of Boogie Woogie' Ruby Turner, as well as the outstanding vocals of Louise Marshall, and Sumudu Jayatilaka.
