Following his hugely successful Autumn/Winter Tour, which included two sell-out nights at London's glorious Royal Albert Hall, and the release of his new album Rockinghorse, Jools Holland has announced that he is taking his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra back out on the road for a Spring/Summer Tour, along with special guest Sandie Shaw.

This new tour promises to dazzle audiences in each city with all the fun and fervour of the renowned 'big band' sound that Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra have become famous for.

Sandie Shaw, one of Britain's top female singers of the 1960s and true British pop icon, will be Jools' special guest for this tour – her first tour in over 25 years.

Her career has spawned three UK No.1 singles – Puppet On A String, (There's) Always Something There To Remind Me, and Long Live Love – a string of Top 10 hits such as Girl Don't Come, I'll Stop At Nothing, and Message Understood, and a collaboration with The Smiths (Morrissey and Johnny Marr are both fans). More recently, Sandie sung the title track for the hit British film Made In Dagenham, which was released last year.

Finishing time estimated between 10.15 and 10.45pm
