And on 27 February, we’re back at Cafe Yukari for a performance by jazz pianist and composer Ben Shankland, winner of BBC Scotland Young Jazz Musician, and described as “the perfect all-round musician”.

Monday 16 June at 7pm

Alistair McGowan : 3-in-1

Poetry, comedy and piano

BAFTA-winning comic, actor and writer, Alistair brings you the comedy and impressions for which he is known and loved, plays short piano favourites by Chopin, Grieg, Elgar, Satie and others, and reads from his newly-published poetry collection. Expect beautiful music, poignant poems and spot-on mimicry. It’s three great shows in one!

The stables were built in 1610 as the stable block for Ham House mansion. Join Alistair in this historic setting on the edge of beautiful Richmodn Park for a convivial evening of music and entertainment. Meet the performer afterwards and mingle with other music lovers.

With vocal contributions from soprano, Charlotte Page. “A perfect Edinburgh show” (Stephanie Merritt, The Observer)
