Depending on who you talk to, the irrepressible Jools Holland is best known as a blisteringly energetic piano-pounding performer of boogie-woogie, jazz and R&B; or as the keyboard-wizard sideman to one of the great new-wave pop bands of the seventies and eighties; or as one of the UK's most popular television presenters. And while any one of these accomplishments would be enough for most people, Jools Holland has managed to be all those things in his remarkable showbiz career 䀓 a career that's seen him work with almost everybody who was anybody on the UK or US music scene from the late '70s onward.
Julian Miles Holland was born on the 24th of January, 1958 in London. Even as a young boy, he showed a flair for the piano, learning the rudiments of boogie-woogie piano from an uncle at the age of eight.
