Jools Holland’s Rhythm and Blues Orchestra

Jools Holland brought along a few special guests on his annual autumn/winter tour during his stop off in Brighton this weekend. Amongst the guests were pop singer, Melanie C and vocal powerhouse, Ruby Turner. Unfortunately, the former Spice Girls singer was too often out of her comfort zone, but a ska reworking of ’Never Be The Same Again’ made for one of the evening’s highlights. The audience were also treated to an incredible drum solo by former Squeeze drummer, Gilson Lavis. Jools Holland’s left hand will go down in legend as his flawless piano playing led his orchestra in style, making for an outstanding evening of entertainment.
