ONE of the UK’s most popular pianists, and former Squeeze band member, Jools Holland is to launch this year’s International Eisteddfod in Llangollen.
With less than six weeks to go, the returning festival favourite and loyal supporter of the festival (currently a Vice President of the Eisteddfod), is planning his set list to entertain the Royal Pavilion audience with his legendary Rhythm and Blues Orchestra on Monday, July 1.
The jazz, blues and swing showstopper will launch the 2019 concert series with an unforgettable toe-tapping extravaganza of live music, kindly sponsored by Kronospan.
This week-long festival line-up features some of the world’s most internationally renowned musicians, including French-Mexican star tenor, Rolando Villazón, salsa, pop and flamenco outfit, Gipsy Kings, and award-winning Celtic music band, Jamie Smith’s MABON.
Music Director of the festival, Edward-Rhys Harry, said: “We are proud that this year’s festival line-up spans genres and generations, crossing the boundaries of age, culture and creed. There really is something for everyone.”
