Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra

Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra bring their big band, rooted in blues and drawing on country and folk, to Bath Forum. The night is led by the pianist and bandleader best known as a founding keyboardist of Squeeze.

Jools Holland is an English pianist and bandleader. He was a founding keyboardist of the pop band Squeeze, formed in 1974 with Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, before pursuing a solo career built around boogie-woogie, blues and jazz-inflected piano.

His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra is a large ensemble that takes its name from the rhythm and blues tradition, and the music of this act spans blues, country and folk. Holland also presents the BBC music programme Later... with Jools Holland, which has featured a wide range of artists since 1992.

Bath Forum hosts concerts and shows in Bath. The evening suits listeners who follow blues-based big band music, as well as admirers of Holland's piano playing and his work with Squeeze.
