Musical master of ceremonies Jools Holland and his acclaimed Rhythm & Blues Orchestra have announced their annual musical excursion for 2019.

Soft Cell frontman Marc Almond will be accompanying Jools for the 2019 tour as a special guest.

In his 36-year career, Marc has sold over 30 million records worldwide with his list of hit songs including ‘Say Hello, Wave Goodbye, ‘Touch’ and, of course, ‘Tainted Love’. Marc has also collaborated with the likes of Gene Pitney, Tony Visconti and Burt Bacharach, as well as Jools who Marc previously toured with in 2014. He was awarded an OBE this year for his services to arts and culture.

Also performing with Jools will be the supremely talented vocalists Ruby Turner and Louise Marshall and Beth Rowley. With a tremendous collection of Jools compositions and boogie-woogie classics to choose from, Jools’ annual European tour is set to be an unforgettable night out that will delight both Jools and Marc Almond fans and have audiences on their feet!
