Musical maestro Jools Holland has teamed up with international artist Marc Almond to release a joint album this autumn. ‘A Lovely Life To Live’ will be released on 23 November through Warner Music Entertainment and will be available on CD, digital download and to stream.
Jools Holland and his acclaimed Rhythm & Blues Orchestra have also announced their annual musical excursion around the UK and Ireland for 2018 in which he is joined by Marc. Jools and Marc have already kicked off their autumn/winter UK tour back in October, and will be performing at Birmingham’s Symphony Hall on the 5th and 6th December.
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 as well as original Squeeze member Gilson Lavis on drums with the Rhythm & Blues Orchestra. With a tremendous collection of Jools compositions and boogie-woogie classics to choose from, Jools’ annual UK tour is set to be an unforgettable night out that will delight both Jools and Marc Almond fans and have audiences on their feet!
‘A Lovely Life To Live’ will be released on Friday 23 November through Warner Music Entertainment and will be available on all CD and digital formats. Tickets to the show at the Symphony Hall are already on sale at:
