POPULAR pianist and bandleader Jools Holland is set to return to Westonbirt Arboretum - he and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, featuring Gilson Lavis and guest vocalists Ruby Turner and Louise Marshall, have announced a 2008 Summer concert. It will take place on Friday, July 18.

Arboretum Marketing and Communications manager Kellie Lovett said: "Jools Holland & his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra has a huge army of fans and their support contributes enormously to the maintenance and development of this historic tree garden for future generations to enjoy."

Last year his gig was cancelled due to the floods.
