Renowned for his exuberant live shows, Jools will once again be backed by the full power and finesse of his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, delivering an evening of blues music, swing music, boogie woogie and ska, packed with musical virtuosity and joyful spontaneity.
Joining Jools and the Orchestra as special guest for every date of the tour will be one of the UK’s most celebrated soul voices, Roachford. Since his breakthrough hit "Cuddly Toy" topped the UK charts in 1988, Roachford has released 10 studio albums, been sought after as a songwriter by Michael Jackson, Joss Stone and Chaka Khan, and built a reputation as an outstanding live performer. Jools is so excited to have Adam Roachford with him on this tour.
