Boisdale Christmas All Stars

A Christmas evening of live music led by Richard Hadfield, who fronts the Boisdale Christmas All Stars with a mix of seasonal standards and pop favourites at Boisdale of Canary Wharf.

Richard Hadfield came to wider attention by winning Britain's Got Talent as a member of the vocal group Collabro in 2014, and the group's debut album went to number one in the UK. Since then he has pursued a solo career in jazz and swing. Audiences at Boisdale have warmed to his baritone voice, relaxed wit and openness to song requests.

This Christmas season Hadfield leads the Boisdale Christmas All Stars. The song list runs from Nat King Cole's “The Christmas Song” and “Winter Wonderland” to “Volare”, “Can't Take My Eyes Off You” and Queen's “Don't Stop Me Now”. The band moves easily between traditional swing, Latin rhythms and pop, and requests from the room shape how the evening unfolds. Hadfield enjoys talking with guests as much as singing, and can turn a song towards someone at the table.

Boisdale of Canary Wharf spreads across two floors above Cabot Square and mainly hosts live concerts, with a programme focused on R&B and soul. Guests can take a Christmas dinner with wines, cocktails and fine whiskies, with the entertainment provided by Hadfield and the band. The evening suits friends, family or colleagues marking the season, and the venue has a Drambuie bar and heated garden terrace for drinks before and after.
