The Pasadena Roof Orchestra
Enjoy five live performance on board…
Playing music from the roaring 1920s and elegant 1930s, The Pasadena Roof Orchestra is one of the UK’s finest dance bands established over 50 years ago. The band was founded in 1969 by John Arthy and is now led by Duncan Galloway, who brings an element of tomfoolery to performances, which are both musically and visually entertaining. The band has toured the USA, appeared in Kuala Lumpur, played at London’s Albert Hall and tour Europe and the United Kingdom on a regular basis. Their shows include classic tunes from George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, and Duke Ellington, as well as exclusive arrangements from the Great British dance bands. Duncan will also present a talk: 'The History of the Dance Bands and the Pasadena Roof Orchestra', a light-hearted look at life on tour with anecdotes from the Orchestra's rich history.

Martin is now a writer, presenter and journalist, and wrote the BBC Radio Series, Russia: A 1000-Year Chronicle of the Wild East. Martin is also well known for writing The Lost Child of Philomena Lee, the poignant true story of a mother unwillingly separated from her son, which has since been turned into a motion picture starring Dame Judi Dench and Steve Coogan. Martin has written numerous books including Ayesha’s Gift, which tells the story of a young woman’s search to discover the truth following the murder of her Father in Pakistan.

Performances from Collabro
After being crowned winners of Britain’s Got Talent series eight, Collabro went on to have their first number one album, which became the fastest selling record that year. Since then, the boys have amassed over one million record sales worldwide with four major album releases, two of which were on their own record label. They have also completed four major tours of the UK, including a 52-date tour culminating at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall. Their success in the UK is matched internationally, seeing them travel all over the world to America, Canada, the Philippines, Taiwan and Europe. The boys have enjoyed massive success in Japan particularly, where they visit on a yearly basis and won a prestigious gold disk award alongside Meghan Trainor and Sam Smith. In 2019, following the mammoth success of their huge fourth UK tour, the boys were offered a major record deal with BMG and have since released their fifth studio album, ‘Love Like This’, to great critical acclaim. The hard work, longevity and global success of Collabro affirms them not only as one of the most successful winners of Britain’s Got Talent ever, but also as a household name in British music.
