Alan Nicholls at the Bird Bar

Past event

This page shows the historical details for Saturday 12 September 2026. If this event returns in 2027, the new details are not published yet.

Pianist Alan Nicholls plays a free two-hour Saturday evening set in the Bird Bar at Pinnacle Suites, Cowes.

Presented by Pinnacle Suites Hotel

Alan Nicholls sits down at the piano for a free evening set in the Bird Bar at Pinnacle Suites. The hotel-bar setting makes this an intimate performance rather than a ticketed auditorium show. Listeners can settle with a drink, dip in for part of the set or make the music the centre of their evening. Piano at close range rewards attention without demanding the formality of a recital hall.

The performance runs from 8.30pm to 10.30pm on Saturday 12 September. Admission is advertised as free, although drinks and any food are charged separately. The source does not mention reserved seating, so contact the venue if a table is important or if you need a particular accessible position. Pinnacle Suites is close to the Red Jet terminal, but passengers should compare the finish with the final ferry they intend to catch.

This is a quieter choice within the Island’s Saturday music programme, suited to conversation as well as focused listening. Respect the performer and hotel guests by keeping voices low near the piano. The Bird Bar forms part of a working hotel, and staff may direct event visitors to a specific entrance or section. Check the Facebook poster for changes on the day; general venue questions can be handled by Pinnacle Suites reception.
