Jools Holland and friends bring a little funk to the Fair City

Broadcaster, musician and all-round groovy feller Jools Holland played to a packed Perth Concert Hall as part of the city’s hugely successful arts festival.

The Later star was joined on stage by pop icon Marc Almond and blues singer Ruby Turner for the Rhythm and Blues Orchestra show.

Jools, who shot to fame in the band Squeeze, has become a staple of the Perth Festival of the Arts and has performed in the city several times before.

Last night’s sold-out show followed a well-attended week of activities at venues around the city.

Festival administrator Sandra Ralston said: “It’s absolutely fantastic to have the festival linked with such an A-list musician like Jools.

“He has played at the festival many times in the past and always goes down a storm. It was no surprise that the show sold out again this year.”

She said: “This year’s festival has been a big success.

“We’ve had a lot of positive feedback.

“The only thing that’s been disappointing has been the weather, but luckily all of our shows are well sheltered.”

The Proclaimers, King Creosote and Courtney Pine have been among some of the big draws at this month’s extravaganza.

Other hit shows have included comedy production The Only Way is Downton and a performance by the BBC Philharmonic.

A marquee art gallery, set up in the concert hall plaza, has also proved a hit with visitors.

Tonight, Ronnie Scott’s world famous London jazz club will be recreated at the concert hall with members of his original line-up and acclaimed singer Claire Martin.

The Massed Bands of Her Majesty’s Royal Marines will bring this year’s events to a close tomorrow with a Festival of Music, compered by broadcaster John Suchet.

Some tickets are still available at the festival box office.
