Info
Jools Holland brings his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra to the Congress Theatre in Eastbourne on 5 July 2026. At the piano, he steers a horn-packed big-band through jump blues, boogie-woogie and swing, with tight grooves, call-and-response riffs and plenty of space for solos. Built around his quick-fire left hand and rolling shuffle feel, the set glides from classic rhythm and blues to rock’n’roll inflections, arranged for a full brass section and a road-tested rhythm crew. Expect Holland’s trademark chats at the keys and sharp transitions that keep the room moving.
Special guest Roachford, led by Andrew Roachford, adds a soulful, rock-leaning edge, all keys, hooks and grit, drawing on a catalogue that runs from late-80s cuts to recent releases. Vocal firepower comes from Ruby Turner, Louise Marshall and Sumudu Jayatilaka, trading leads and harmonies across blues, gospel-tinged soul and ballads. A night for piano-driven R&B, bold brass and voices that carry the room.
