The Definitive Rat Pack with Nancy Sinatra

Boisdale of Canary Wharf · London

Table reservations from 6pm | Live Music: 8.30pm “Each performer is a master of his craft...”London’s Magic FM The Definitive Rat Pack returns to Boisdale with Stephen Triffitt as Frank Sinatra, Mark Adams as Dean Martin and Darren Charles as Sammy Davis Jr, joined by Hannah Lindsey as Nancy Sinatra. This is the Rat Pack done by performers who have lived with the material for years, not a loose swing set in dinner jackets. Triffitt and Adams starred in the West End’s The Rat Pack: Live from Las Vegas, and Darren Charles brings the Sammy Davis Jr sharpness: rhythm, pace, humour and that switch from charm to attack when the song needs it. Hannah Lindsey adds the Nancy Sinatra edge, taking the night from classic Vegas swing into 60s pop cool with "Bang Bang", "These Boots Are Made for Walkin’" and "Somethin’ Stupid". That contrast matters: Sinatra’s late-night phrasing, Dean’s relaxed swing, Sammy’s snap and Nancy’s cool, clipped delivery all sit in different corners of the same room. Expect "Fly Me to the Moon", "That’s Amore", "Mr Bojangles", "Bang Bang" and "Somethin’ Stupid", with a live band keeping the pace tight and the arrangements properly dressed. Boi...

Aretha Franklin by Vanessa Haynes of Incognito

Boisdale of Canary Wharf · London

Table reservations from 6pm | Live Music: 8.30pm “Haynes’ voice is nothing short of mesmerising. A standout talent in her own right.” - UK Soul Review “A soulful powerhouse.” - Evening Standard Aretha Franklin is dangerous territory for any singer. The songs demand more than a big voice, they need gospel instinct, soul phrasing and the confidence to hold back before letting the room have it. Vanessa Haynes has that equipment. Best known as a long-time lead vocalist with Incognito, Haynes brings serious soul credentials to the stage. Her career includes work with Van Morrison, Chaka Khan, Billy Ocean, Lulu, Anastacia, Leon Ware, Mario Biondi and Dave Stewart, alongside more than 14 years touring internationally with one of Britain’s most respected jazz-funk bands. Backed by a full live band, she takes on Aretha’s great songbook with the respect and nerve it deserves. Expect "Respect", "(You Make Me Feel Like a) Natural Woman", "I Say a Little Prayer", "Chain of Fools", "Think" and "Day Dreaming", songs built on gospel roots, deep soul and absolute emotional command. This is a proper singer meeting proper material, with enough grit, control and feeling to make the tribu...

Osibisa

Boisdale of Canary Wharf · London

Table reservations from 6 pm | Live Music: 9 pm “Jimi Hendrix watched them rehearse, Stevie Wonder joined them on drums, and Fela Kuti partied with them in Lagos…” The Guardian Formed in London in 1969 by four African and three Caribbean musicians, Osibisa stand as the founding architects of Afro-rock. They were the first Black band to break The Marquee Club in 1971, earned two UK chart hits in 1976, and became one of the most influential African-heritage groups to emerge from Britain’s music scene. Their fusion of African rhythms, Caribbean grooves, funk, jazz, rock, Latin and highlife shaped the early language of what later became known as world music. Their catalogue continues to resonate across generations, with Sunshine Day, Welcome Home and Music for Gong Gong remaining staples on global stages. Osibisa’s legacy runs deep, cited by artists from Santana and Stevie Wonder to Al Green, Johnny Nash and Bob Marley. At Boisdale of Canary Wharf, the band bring their signature blend of driving percussion, soaring horns and richly textured arrangements - the sound that made them internationally recognised as the godfathers of Afro-rock.

FIND JOY

West Hampstead Arts Club · London

find-joy are an alternative indie band from North County Dublin. The group released their latest single ‘Departed’ off their sophomore EP earlier this month. The track was produced by the group’s guitarist Mark Allidine and was recorded over a number of sessions in various home studios. ‘Departed’ showcases a strong bass groove and synth melodies from Oscar Kelly which combine with the drums to produce a driving rhythmic feel. The chorus features an explosion of width and a rather catchy vocal hook from singers Tadhg Kelly and Colleen Conlon. The track is noticeably different from Peptides, the first single from the EP while still maintaining many familiar find-joy elements. “Departed is a song about infatuation. The all encompassing feeling of the start of a romantic interest. It’s a certain kind of feeling that I feel is as relatable as it is bitter sweet” says Tadhg about the new single. ‘Departed’ was mastered by Tom Woodhead in his studio Hippocratic, in West Yorkshire. Tom has worked notably with Status Quo, English Teacher and Gerry Cinnamon to name a few. Known for their energetic live shows, find-joy have performed twice at Whelan’s Ones to Watch, Gol...
