Jools will be joined by former Fine Young Cannibals frontman Roland Gift, performing ten dates of the tour, including the Victoria Hall, Stoke-on-Trent, Stockton Globe and New Theatre, Oxford.
A Jools Holland tour would not be complete without the spectacular vocal power of Ruby Turner, the soul tones of Louise Marshall and the tireless drums of original Squeeze member, Gilson Lavis, along with the inimitable musicianship and exuberant sound of the Rhythm & Blues Orchestra.
The tour follows the release of Jools’ latest star-studded album, Pianola Piano & Friends, featuring musical luminaries David Gilmour, Sir Tom Jones, Jamie Cullum and many more.
Victoria Hall, Stoke-on-Trent
The Victoria Hall was built in 1888 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. It was revamped in the mid-nineties and has since then been at the heart of the Cultural Quarter, alongside its sister venue The Regent Theatre. It has established itself as one of the most popular venues on the touring circuit playing host to the likes of Paul Weller, Morrissey and Jimmy Carr.
