The Boisdale Music Awards once again proved to be an extraordinary night, bringing together legendary artists and emerging talents. With live performances and high-energy moments, this year’s event set a high bar for what’s to come in 2025.

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! This years event was again hosted by the wonderful William Sitwell and Georgia Toffolo, and attendees at the lunch included journalists, politicians, economists and some of the UK’s most influential Diary writers.

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. The evening included a Highland piper and an address to the haggis from actor James Cosmo.

On Tuesday 18 October 2022 Charlene White and Jay Blades took to the Boisdale of Canary Wharf stage to host the first annual London Chamber of Commerce Black Excellence Awards 2022, to celebrate the inspirational contribution of the British black community to the cultural and economic development of the United Kingdom.

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!
