Yesterday, P&O Cruises announced Gary Barlow as their new brand ambassador. This pioneering partnership will fuse music with amazing travel experiences to deliver spine-tingling moments on board, with Gary’s debut role as musical director of The 710 Club on Iona.

As musical director of The 710 Club, Gary is set to make Iona’s intimate music bar the most exciting live music venue at sea. Showcasing an eclectic range of performances, curated to appeal to British music lovers, this atmospheric late-night music venue will offer an opportunity for up-and-coming musicians to get their break. This collaboration highlights P&O Cruises' commitment to providing world-class entertainment on Iona, and places music firmly at its heart.

Gary explained: “I want The 710 Club to be a celebration of great music and great talent. As its musical director, I want to give a unique experience for people who love music as much as I do."

Gary will be kick-starting Ionafest 2020 in style, performing as the special guest at Iona’s naming ceremony. An extraordinary festival experience on board Iona, Ionafest will bring together today’s biggest music artists, the famous bottle smash, unmissable entertainment, street food style pop-ups and bars. And to crown it all: Norway’s awe-inspiring fjords will serve as the breathtaking backdrop.

Seize the chance to see Gary perform on two Iona holidays in 2020. With two exclusive performances on each cruise, Gary will be lighting up Iona’s 930-seat theatre for extraordinary performances in dazzling surroundings.
