Renowned as one of the UK's most popular tours, and now in it's 21st year, the show will this year feature special guests The Selecter's Pauline Black and Arthur 'Gaps' Hendrickson.

Venue spokeswoman Rebecca Homer said: "Fans will be thrilled to hear that the shows will once again feature the astounding vocals of Ruby Turner and Louise Marshall along with a new addition, the rich soulful tones of Beth Rowley.

"Beth is known for her love of Blues and Gospel and her top ten debut album Little Dreamer, which was nominated for a BRIT Award. She is currently working on her second album.

"Together with the inimitable musicianship of the Rhythm & Blues Orchestra which features the drums of original Squeeze member Gilson Lavis, Jools Holland will be performing tracks spanning his entire solo career as well as songs taken from his latest album Jools & Ruby, which was released in December 2015. With a catalogue that reaches through decades, a night with Jools Holland will bring fans the greatest boogie-woogie party in town."
