About the show
The Masterclass is not a concert. It is an evening with Jools at the piano, illustrated live with music, in which he reflects on the career, the stories, the friendships and the performances that have put him at the heart of music history for fifty years. He is joined by his full band including Ruby Turner, Dave Swift, Ed Richardson, Louise Marshall and Sumudu Jayatilaka, the people who have been on stage with him long enough to have their own stories about the same nights. A Q&A gives the room a direct line to Jools in the kind of informal setting that does not happen at the Royal Albert Hall.
There are very few people in British music who have been in more rooms, with more artists, across more decades than Jools Holland. This is a rare chance to hear what those rooms actually felt like.
