Info
Jools Holland brings his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra to The Sands Centre, Carlisle, on 23 July 2026. At the piano, he leads a horn-packed big band shaped for rolling boogie-woogie, jump blues and swing, with sharp riffs, call-and-response and tight grooves. His left-hand drive, quick runs and roomy arrangements give space to solos across saxes, trumpets and rhythm section, keeping everything anchored in classic rhythm and blues while sounding fresh on stage.
Special guest Roachford joins with his soulful rock edge and keys, slipping into the orchestra’s flow for punchy crowd-stirrers and slower burners alike. On the frontline, vocalists Ruby Turner, Louise Marshall and Sumudu Jayatilaka trade leads and harmonies, moving from gospel-tinged shouts to tender ballads and back again. Together they shape a set that cruises between boogie workouts, blues shuffles and mid-tempo soul, a live conversation between piano, brass and voices where each singer and soloist finds their moment.
