Joining Jools and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra will be Stereophonics performing songs from their album Kind plus big names such as La Roux; Alabama Shakes singer Brittany Howard and Scottish singer-songwriter Tom Walker.
Stormzy will be singing his hit single Crown and other songs from his second album Heavy is the Head while eighties pop comeback favourite Rick Astley will be adding to the night's entertainment.
Also among the guests on the pre-recorded Hootenanny, which will feature some familiar TV faces too, will be YolanDa Brown; Melanie; Brittany Howard; Ruby Turner; Eddi Reader; Joseph and Pauline Black and Arthur ‘Gaps’ Hendrickson from The Selecter.
