Saxophonist Phil Veacock is best-known as the main arranger, musical director and tenor saxophonist of Jools Holland’s Rhythm and Blues Orchestra. In this role he has arranged for and played with practically everyone of note in popular music from Paul McCartney to Barry White from Elvis Costello to Kylie Minogue.

He can regularly be seen performing on TV, notably on New Year’s Eve on Jools Holland’s Annual Hootenanny for which he has arranged the music since it began in 1994. He has arranged and performed the brass for Paul Weller’s last five records, most recently the Number One hit album Fat Pop.

Joined by organist Jim Watson, former keyboard player with Sting and Katie Melua, and drummer George Double who has worked with Shirley Bassey and Grammy Award winner Jack Jones, Phil’s trio guarantees an evening of good time rhythm and blues, boogie and soul.

‘Superbly talented, groovy and  blue… the pulsating sound of swinging London’ (Jools Holland)
