Live music on the SS Robin, headlined by Tara Lily. Jazz, electronic, classical and experimental music on a Victorian steamship. An exclusive evening of live music aboard the world’s only surviving Victorian steamship Date: Saturday 26 September 2026, Time: 4–9pm Location: SS Robin Pontoon, Trinity Buoy Wharf Headliner: Tara Lily Capacity: Strictly limited Experience a historic first on the Thames: an intimate evening of live music on the SS Robin pontoon at Trinity Buoy Wharf. Headlined by London’s genre-defying Tara Lily, the programme brings together jazz, contemporary classical, electronic, ambient and experimental sound practices. As the SS Robin comes to the end of a long period of restoration and begins opening its doors to the public, this weekend looks towards an exciting new chapter for the historic vessel as a space for contemporary arts and culture in London. Across the two days, we’re activating the ship in completely different ways, bringing its industrial and maritime history into conversation with contemporary music, sound and digital art. _________ Programme: 4:00–5:00pm — Doors open and refreshments available from Orchard Café 5:15–5:45pm Thomas Stone & Angèle David-Guillou 5:45–6:15pm Narotam Horn with Aref Durvesh, Laurence Harrison, Nicholas Hann and Mikele Montolin 6:15–6:45pm Carolina Cury & Konstantinos Damianakis 6:45–7:30pm — Interval Drinks and refreshments available from Orchard Café 7:30–8:15pm Chris Hyson, Alex Haines, Rupert Cox & Ninamarie Bell 8:15–9:00pm — Headline performance Tara Lily _________ About the artists Tara Lily: One of South London’s most compelling contemporary artists, Tara Lily blends jazz, electronic beats, R&B and traditional Indian instrumentation.
