About This Event

Jools Holland and His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra bring their signature fusion of boogie-woogie, jazz, and blues to Wolverhampton Grand Theatre on Sunday 19 July 2026, with the performance commencing at 6.30pm. Special guest Roachford joins the line-up, alongside vocalists Ruby Turner, Louise Marshall, and Sumudu Jayatilaka, whose contributions add layers of soul and gospel to the evening’s rich tapestry. Holland’s piano drives the orchestra through a set that veers from rollicking, foot-stomping numbers to more contemplative, reflective passages, with the brass section punching through the auditorium’s acoustics with precision. The interplay between his keyboard work and the vocalists’ harmonies creates a warm, immersive sound that fills the theatre’s ornate space, balancing energy with intimacy. This is a night where the rhythm never lets up, yet the quieter moments allow the audience to savour the depth of each arrangement. Ticket prices are available via the venue’s website, offering a chance to experience this dynamic ensemble in a setting that suits their expansive sound.
