Jools Holland, Boisdale’s Patron of Music is one of the most popular and enduring television personalities of all time. Alongside Jazz, one of his passions is Boogie Woogie piano and this unique event sees Jools and some of the world’s greatest pianists take to the stage – with not one, but three Yamaha grand pianos at their fingertips. Needless to say this is the most extraordinary Boogie Woogie show on earth!
