Jools will perform tracks from a decades-long catalogue of music alongside the vocals of Ruby Turner and Louise Marshall, as well as rising star Sumudu Jayatilaka, who joined Jools for the first time in 2022.

He said: “Myself, my piano and orchestra are thrilled to bits because our special guests this year are Pauline Black and Arthur ‘Gaps’ Hendrickson of The Selecter.

"This magnificent addition will amplify our ska music credentials and bring an extra razzy, dazzy spasm to our dance capabilities.

"Coupled with our own boogie queen and enchantress, Ruby Turner, this mix will result in one of the most dynamic shows we’ve ever had.

"But it doesn’t stop there, adding her delicious voice and harmonic enchantments to the evening will be our very own Louise Marshall.

"Further, for your aural delectation, we introduce, the much sought-after and wonderful new voice of Sumudu Jayatilaka.

"All this music will be underpinned by the drums of my Squeeze co-founder, Gilson Lavis and decorated by the scintillating soloists of the orchestra.”
