Julian Miles Holland (b.1958,) fully Julian Miles Holland, is an English pop musician and television presenter. He has jammed with some of the greatest names in popular music.
Born in London, Holland learned piano as a child and played with the successful band Squeeze 1974–80. A solo career, chiefly as a session musician, included a job presenting the influential TV pop program The Tube. Holland rejoined Squeeze (1985–90) before a second solo bid. He continues to tour with his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, formed in 1994. His piano style is rooted in the New Orleans boogie-woogie tradition.
Holland co-authored Rolling Stones: A Life on the Road (1998,) Ray Charles: Man and Music (1999,) and Barefaced Lies and Boogie-Woogie Boasts (2008.)
