Radio Caroline pirate station’s best loved presenter, who once broadcasted from a ship off the coast of England (The Boat That Rocked – in 1964) has flown into London from his home in Los Angeles. Legendary DJ Emperor Rosko toasted the launch of an in-house entertainment programme he specially prepared for Boisdale of Belgravia and Boisdale of Bishopsgate.

A Christmas holidays special was amongst a series of exclusive ‘radio’ shows for Boisdale, which the Emperor Rosko prepared. In his true form,  Rosko compiled an eclectic blend of favourite Christmas songs and seasonal treasures from his own priceless archives including BB King, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Louis Armstrong, Dean Martin, Jo Stafford, Eartha Kitt and No Slade.

The shows have been sponsored by Glenfarclas, a company that is renowned for producing outstanding Single Highland Malt Scotch Whisky in the traditional Speyside style.  Brand Ambassador and sixth generation distillery Co-owner George S Grant said: “Boisdale is all about Scotland and Scotland is all about whisky; there is no better place in the UK for a fine Highland dram and soul stirring jazz and blues so I am immensely delighted to be able to bring ‘the King of all malt whiskies’ for the connoisseurs’ delectation to be enjoyed in an relaxing ambiance of the Boisdale bars”.

Happy Hour (6pm – 7pm) at Boisdale will now feature the special shows as an aural backdrop. Those clients lucky enough to be paying attention to the Emperor’s show in the restaurants will be suitably rewarded with a sizeable discount on their Glenfarclas whisky of choice when they mention the key words to the Boisdale barmen.

Since its launch by Ranald Macdonald in 1988, the Boisdale name has always been synonymous with high quality Scottish fare and hospitality that is accompanied by fine wines and whiskies.

The exclusive in-house Boisdale radio style programming is just the start of an exciting new project that will see the Boisdale group enter the radio market in 2010.

Stay tuned!
