Joining Jools and the Orchestra as special guest for every date of the tour will be one of the UK’s most celebrated soul voices, Roachford. Since his breakthrough hit Cuddly Toy topped the UK charts in 1988, Roachford has released 10 studio albums, been sought after as a songwriter by Michael Jackson, Joss Stone and Chaka Khan, and built a reputation as an outstanding live performer.
