Jools Holland has revealed the musical guests who are set to take part in his 25th annual Hootenanny event.

The TV host, accompanied by his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, will welcome some of the biggest artists of 2017 onto the show to celebrate the New Year.

Appearances will include Ed Sheeran, Mavis Staples, Jessie Ware, Beth Ditto and George McRae.

For those who spent the year hiding under a large boulder, Sheeran has had quite a year; breaking records with his third album Divide, headlining Glastonbury and touring around the world. This month he also released a remix of his song "Perfect" featuring a collaboration with Beyonce. Sheeran will perform songs solo and with the Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, as well as surprise cover of a classic rock song.

Jessie Ware is enjoying the success of her third top 10 album Glasshouse, which The Independent named as one of its favourite albums of 2017. Along with her own album, she will perform a cover of a classic by Nina Simone.
