Tours most with, live reviews.

Jools Holland is a misplaced individual. He has got the classic British stiff demeanour, the slightly awkward smile, the pinkish complexion, he even gives off a slightly regal wave. But he jams on the ivory like Jerry Lee.

He evokes the bayous of Louisiana, the showrooms of Vegas; he busts the Creole swing as though he was kicked to the curb of Bourbon Street with a songbook and a can of beans and basically went from there.

You can envision Kerouac and Cassady pontificating, Dizzy Gillespie tapping along, Nina Simone probably griping in the corner (she’s notoriously difficult to please according to many peer-reviewed accounts). The whiskey’s burning in the veins and excreted from the flesh of a barroom full of revellers and Ginsbergs scribbling away in a Moleskine.

Yes, he’s done stuff with Sting, George Harrisson, Howard Devoto’s Magazine, bloody Bono - he even founded a small cool-as-cats outfit known as Squeeze who did some great songs, ‘Up the Junction’, ‘Tempted’, ‘Labelled with Love’, ‘Hourglass’, and a whole bunch of others. But playing his solo stuff live, you can hear where he draws his real inspiration from.

Report as inappropriate

Usual great night from Jools and the orchestra.I defy anyone not to be entertained, definitely music to make you smile. Surprised by the choice of Leeds arena as only about 2500 people in a venue that hold 13000, but that said it didn't feel like that. It seemed for intimate than a arena gig

Jools is phenomenal and pure joy to watch. Great concert with the atmosphere of a house party. Ruby Turner was sensational too. Marc Almond was a bit like a drunk uncle at a wedding but in a good way. He brought a bit of campness and a lot of nostalgic fun. Loved every minute.

What a talent . . . What a band of first class musicians and vocalists . . . Sheer entertainment every concert . . . Jools is quite unique and has emerged as one of the finest pianists of his generation

Brilliant, fab u luss, wish l could go every Saturday night. Jools, Jose, and Ruby know how to get a party started. And the Rhythm and Blues Orchestra were amazing.

Jools Holland Autumn Tour

When: 6th December 2024 – 7th December 2024 Location : SEC Armadillo

Jools Holland is bringing his magnificent rhythm and blues orchestra back to Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo for 2 nights on 6th and 7th December 2024.

Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra are a rhythm and blues band led by boogie-woogie pianist Jools Holland. Holland formed the band in 1994 and the current 20-piece band consists of piano, organ, drums and female vocals. As well as electric guitar, bass guitar, alto saxophones, tenor saxophones, baritone saxophones, trumpets, and trombones.

In 1973, at the age of 15, Holland was introduced to Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford. Together they formed Squeeze. Shortly afterwards they were joined by Gilson Lavis – who still drums with Jools.

Up The Junction and Cool For Cats gave Squeeze meteoric success and their popularity rapidly extended to America. Their tour included performances at New York’s Madison Square Garden.

In 1987, Jools formed The Jools Holland Big Band – comprising himself and Gilson Lavis. This has gradually metamorphosed into the current 19-piece Jools Holland and His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, which consists of pianist, organist, drummer, three female vocals, guitar, bass guitar, two tenor saxophones, two alto saxophones, baritone saxophone, three trumpets, and three trombones.

Formidable live performances

As well as formidable live performances, Jools has maintained a prolific recording career since signing to Warner Music in 1996, which includes the multimillion selling Jools Holland and Friends series. Notable ‘friends’ have included Sting, Chrissie Hynde, George Harrison, Norah Jones, Eric Clapton, David Gilmour, Bono, Joe Strummer, KT Tunstall, Robert Plant, Smokey Robinson, Kylie, Marc Almond, Ringo Starr, Peter Gabriel, Solomon Burke, and many more.

Jools’ career as a television presenter has run parallel to his musical career.  After presenting two series of Juke Box Jury in 1989 and then 26 shows of The Happening in 1990, Jools was asked in 1992 to host a new music programme for BBC2, which combined his talent and experience as a musician with his skills as a TV presenter. This was Later… with Jools Holland.

Jools’ achievements were formally recognized in June 2003, when he was awarded the OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List.
