Jools Holland is often viewed - somewhat unfairly, it should be said - as little more than an arch-fan, albeit one with his finger firmly on the musical pulse. 
His well-established BBC TV show has long been an eclectic mixture of styles and genres, encompassing music from across the world. Jools’ talent on the piano is immense, his attitude towards his famed Rhythm & Blues Orchestra friendly and egalitarian. The result is a joyous celebration of music, and a sound to which you can’t help but tap your feet. 
He’s joined for these Symphony Hall concerts by Imelda May, Ruby Turner, Louise Marshall and Sumudu Jayatilaka.
