On the 20th of September 2023, Boisdale Canary Wharf hosted the 11th annual Boisdale Music Awards - a celebration of some of the greatest names in the worlds of soul, jazz, blues, rock, reggae and pop, and was once again hosted by Boisdale’s Patron of Music, Jools Holland, alongside musician and broadcaster, YolanDa Brown.

In July 2023, we published the 22nd edition of Boisdale Life Magazine and the Editors Lunch & Awards was a celebration of independent and creative journalism, and saw the presentation of the much-coveted Boisdale Life Awards for 2023!

For homesick Scots and curious Sassenachs who can’t get north of the border for Burns Night, there’s only one place to celebrate 235th anniversary of Robbie Burns and that is at Boisdale, Scotland’s unofficial embassy in London.

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!
