JOOLS Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra are coming to the Cardiff International Arena on December 17, and will be joined by Alison Moyet.

Speaking of their tour, Holland said: "These are shaping up to be some of our best shows yet.

"Not only do we have the truly remarkable talents of Ruby Turner and Louise Marshall, but we will be joined for the first time by the incredible Alison Moyet.

"Her voice is truly unique and has a blues and soul quality that fits perfectly into the Rhythm & Blues Orchestra party."

Last year Moyet celebrated her 25-year career with the release of the massively successful The Best Of Alison Moyet.

She said: "I first sang with Jools in the early 1980s on The Tube (the non public transport variety) and often times since and it is ever a pleasure.

"Taking part in his tour will be both a fabulous sea change and a return to the beginning. It’s a great thing being invited to work with musicians of this fine calibre."

Tickets are £32.50, subject to a booking fee, available on 029 20 22 44 88.
