Huge thanks to Joanna Garcia for the time and thought she has put into this vlog, infusing it with that wonderful reflective quality of hers.

Following a brilliant weekend with the fabulous Joanna García - Piano, I'm so looking forward to our next cruise in September with soprano Sofia Kirwan-Baez and pianist Alexandra Standing.

I really feel so fortunate to know so many incredibly talented musicians, and to live in this world of music.

I'm delighted to announce that David Gordon will be back next year with another wonderful programme of jazz piano!

There is nothing quite like a summer evening with canapés and the colourful and warm sounds of David at the piano. It's no exaggeration to say that the evening takes you someplace else, away from the rest of the world.

Booking now available for June 2027!

As August begins, perhaps you're enjoying a summer holiday, or using the time to catch up with things and people - or maybe neither, and life is continuing as usual!

Whatever you're doing and wherever you are, I hope you are managing to find moments of joy in every day, even if they're very small. For me, I had a new washing machine plumbed in - joy!! And my two cats never fail to make me smile.

Reading and listening to the news, I don't say that flippantly or with ignorance of everything happening in the world today. But in my own experience, it is those little moments that will carry you through until the light gets a bit brighter again.

(Friendly wooden post with a toothless grin spotted on a walk with my mum. I couldn't help but grin back.)

I often talk about the upcoming scheduled cruises, and that is, of course, because it's an exciting and varied programme of different musicians, programmes and types of cruises.

But DID YOU KNOW that it's also possible to book The Piano Boat for an exclusive event for up to 10 people? With this, we offer flexibility in almost every element of the cruise. You can let me know your preferred start time, type of catering, style of music, and any other special requests.

We've hosted birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, and get-togethers with friends.

If you'd like to know more, just get in touch!

There's something different every month!

We have a couple of Piano Boat debuts coming up between now and the end of the year - Joanna Garcia in August, and Anthony Hewitt in December - and many other wonderful musicians in the second half of 2026.

I know we can't really start talking about that yet, but if you're all for planning ahead, we do have two cruise dates for December now available to book, and 2027 dates will be coming soon...

Just get in touch if you have any questions!

There are two ways of looking at The Piano Boat, so I'm curious...

Are you interested in the boat, and the piano is a novelty?
Or are you interested in the music, and the boat is a novelty?

Let me know! 😊

We had a wonderful time celebrating International Dawn Chorus Day last weekend, with the hugely talented Kris Worsley presenting a birdsong-inspired programme of music and readings of poetry and literature, combined with some of his award-winning wildlife photography.

He was rehearsing one of his own compositions (‘The Song of the Winter Robin’) here before the cruise, and one of the residents was particularly taken by his duet with a robin!
