The Isle of Arts Festival has a whole day devoted to brilliant piano playing at the Boathouse Saturday 16 April.

Opinions are divided about our third pianist of the day Bob Brace – people either think of him as a wonderful violinist who also plays piano, or a superb pianist who also plays a mean violin.

At Piano! Piano! his talents on the piano will be at the fore with a selection of ragtime, stride, boogie-woogie and more. (And if you want to catch him playing violin, you can see his band Ménage on Friday night at the Boathouse).

Tickets for Isle of Arts Festival events can be purchased online in advance or via our festival telephone hotline 01983 862 596 (open Monday-Friday, 10.00-16.30).

Tickets are also available at Seasons, 10 High Street, Ventnor.
