He said: "I'm absolutely delighted to be heading out again with our big band. Having Roachford join us for every night of the tour is a real joy – he's one of the great soul voices this country has produced, and every time he sings the room lights up. With the mighty Orchestra, our wonderful boogie woogie singers, and the brilliant Joe Webb opening the shows, we're in for some very special evenings of music."
