Jools Holland to Play Liverpool Summer Pops in July
Posted by Stephen
Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra are the lastest big name to be added to this year’s Summer Pops festival which is being held at the Liverpool Echo Arena during July.
Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra have been performing under one guise or another since 1987, when the original Jools Holland Big Band was formed. Through sheer hard work and dedicated touring, the band has gained a thorougly deserved reputation for providing a great night out. Their lively and energetic shows around the UK and Europe regulalry sell out and they can often be found in a town near you close to Christmas time.
People of a certain age will remember Jools Holland from his Squeeze days. He was a founder member of the group which formed in 1974, but they failed to have any chart success until “Cool For Cats” reached number two in 1979. He came to the attention of the nation when he famously uttered the words “groovy f**kers” during a live transmission of a trailer for Channel 4’s Friday night music show, The Tube.
Currently there are 11 confirmed shows taking place under the banner “Summer Pops” and the headline acts include Diana Ross, Meat Loaf, Crowded House, Mick Hucknall, Deacon Blue, The Australian Pink Floyd Show, Counting Crows, Michael Bublé and Michael Ball.
