Socially Distanced: Jools Holland

A statement from Jool's team:

"Due to unprecedented hurdles presented by the pandemic we have taken the difficult decision to cancel the Jools Holland shows in Brighton, we are very sorry for any disappointment and look forward to seeing you when things return to normal and we can party together again.  All ticket holders will receive a full refund.  We would like to thank the venue and everyone involved in trying to make these shows happen, sadly on this occasion it was not to be."

A socially distanced performance - ticket holders will be seated and served at tables.

Jools Holland today announced that he will perform two shows at the Brighton Centre '...but not as you know it’ that will allow for a proper socially distanced performance and safe environment for his loyal fans. Together with his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, Jools Holland will bring their annual party to life once again for these two very special performances – a moment of joy for fans and a much-needed lifeline for the musicians and crew who would normally be on tour throughout November and December. 

Joining Jools on stage will be original Squeeze chum Chris Difford alongside dazzling long-term vocalist Ruby Turner who will be singing the songs she has written with Jools with her breath-taking gospel, soul, blues vocals. Louise Marshall, whose mellifluous voice illuminates all she sings is also confirmed to join Jools for these one-off performances. These will be the only shows for Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra in 2020.

These very special shows, which will take place at 3pm and 8pm on Saturday 12 December 2020, have been configured for tables with a maximum of 4 people per table. Instead of buying individual tickets, concert-goers can now purchase a table for the show which can seat up to 4 people from their own bubble. The Brighton Centre has been specifically configured to a capacity for each show of 504 seated fans.

Jools Holland commented: “I am so thrilled that we have managed to find a way to play these two shows in 2020. The arts and performance makes us all feel alive and is an important part of what makes us all human. We do this for all our loyal fans out there as well as for the musicians and crew who have been hit hard this year. We love performing, so to do it twice in one day will be a joy and a solution. Look forward to seeing you in Brighton.”
