Musical maestro Jools Holland and his world-renowned Rhythm & Blues Orchestra are returning to the Royal Concert Hall on their 2026 Autumn / Winter tour.

Joining Jools and the Orchestra as special guest for 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 Roachford with him on this tour.

Opening each night will be Joe Webb, one of the UK’s most exciting young pianists and improvisers, who has guested with Jools Holland on stage on several occasions and appeared on his latest BBC New Year’s Eve Jools’ Annual Hootenanny TV programme. Blending the flavour of Britpop with classic jazz idioms, Joe’s inclusion is the perfect complement to proceedings.

Jools Holland said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be heading out again with our big band. Having Roachford join us for every night of the tour is a real joy – he’s one of the great soul voices this country has produced, and every time he sings the room lights up. With the mighty Orchestra, our wonderful boogie woogie singers, and the brilliant Joe Webb opening the shows, we’re in for some very special evenings of music.”

Fans will be thrilled to hear that the shows will once again feature the incredible Ruby Turner, the Boogie Woogie Queen, as well as the outstanding vocals of Louise Marshall, and Sumudu Jayatilaka.
