Proudly Present:
“Blues By Candlelight”
With World Leading Blues Harmonica Maestro Giles Robson

“Award-winning blues harmonica genius”
 Daily Sport (UK)
Acclaimed as one of the world’s greatest living blues harmonica players, singers and entertainers, join Giles Robson with his world-class band as he plays an intimate candlelit show. The performance celebrates the dynamics, grooves, feeling and humour of the blues, as you enjoy the finest food and service on offer in London, at Boisdale Of Canary Wharf.
The First EU or UK blues artist to appear on Chicago’s legendary Alligator Records and the third only UK blues artist after Eric Clapton and Peter Green to win a coveted Memphis Blues Music Award (the Grammy of the blues world). Regularly touring 15 countries a year Robson has become renowned across the world for his dazzling performances and unforgettable shows.
 
Leading French music magazine Soulbag praises his harmonica virtuosity as "Staggering", legendary Fleetwood Mac producer Mike Vernon MBE calls his personalised harmonica sound "Nothing short of awesome" and the world's leading jazz magazine USA's Downbeat says his playing style is the streaming of "Electromagnetic riffs and licks like a precision machine".
 
His Blues Music Award-winning collaboration with Joe Louis Walker and Bruce Katz “Journeys To The Heart Of The Blues” was a Living Blues Magazine album of the decade and his 2019 solo album "Don't Give Up On The Blues" was a Mojo Magazine album of the year. Sweden's Jefferson Magazine described it as the "Best blues album of the year".

ABOUT OUR FOOD:
Sourcing the greatest grass-fed Aberdeenshire beef is crucial to Boisdale but equally so is the attention to detail involved in the dry ageing and the actual cutting. All the beef supplied to Boisdale is from the very best certified beef suckler herds of Aberdeenshire Boisdale is wild about game and all manner of chase and fowl find their way to the tables, be it red grouse – the ultimate game bird uniquely indigenous to Scotland and northern England or Highland venison, the regulars’ favourite served hot smoked with a black truffle dressing. Wild fowl, hare, partridge – all can be enjoyed in the Boisdale restaurants when in season.

Gourmets can also delight in arguably the best beef in the world: 28-40 day matured purebred dry aged Aberdeenshire steak as well as other remarkable meat that includes Highland Blackface Lamb.

The most famous Scottish export after whisky - smoked salmon - comes to Boisdale from award-winning, small family-owned farms and smokehouses. Other fish specialities include the diver-gathered Orkney King scallops, Loch Ryan native oysters, organic West Minch salmon from South Uist, sweet dill-pickled herring from the Summer Isles, as well as abundant varieties of other seafood.
