Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra returns to Nottingham Royal Concert Hall

Musical maestro Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra returns to Nottingham next week with a host of special guests.

This year’s show will feature The Selecter’s Pauline Black and Arthur ‘Gaps’ Hendrickson as special guests.

Pauline Black and Arthur ‘Gaps’ Hendrickson are no strangers to Jools and the orchestra, having joined them for a tour in 2016. The duo are founding members of the influential Coventry based two-tone band and ska pioneers The Selecter.

The show will also once again feature the vocals of Ruby Turner and Louise Marshall, as well as the highly talented Sumudu Jayatilaka, who joined Jools for the first time in 2022.

Together with the inimitable musicianship of the Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, which features drums from original Squeeze member Gilson Lavis, Jools Holland will be performing tracks spanning his entire solo career.
