About Jools Holland and His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra

Big band swing meets boogie-woogie piano on a scale few outfits can match, with a horn section, backing singers and a leader who treats the whole night as one long, joyful conversation. Expect a mix of jump blues, ska and soul standards alongside surprise guest vocalists, all held together by a bandleader famous for his showmanship at the keys.

A midweek evening like this tends to draw a mixed-age crowd, from lifelong fans to families out for a proper night of live music. Doors open early, so there's time to settle in before the horns start blaring.

Where to stay nearby

Nottingham is the obvious base, sitting just a kilometre from the venue and offering by far the widest choice of hotels among the three towns. Derby, about 22km away, is a workable alternative with a smaller but decent hotel selection and a straightforward road or rail link into Nottingham. Sheffield, 52km out, has the largest catalog of hotels by a wide margin, useful if Nottingham and Derby are fully booked, though it means a longer journey on the night — regular trains run between Sheffield and Nottingham, making a day trip or evening return practical for those who'd rather stay further out.

Nottingham — about 1 km away

Nottingham itself puts you on the doorstep: the venue is just 1km away, so you can walk or take a short taxi ride. The city has everything you need within arm's reach, and you'll have the most flexible access to the venue.
