I was brought up listening to British Rhythm & Blues music from bands such as the Rolling Stones, Chicken Shack, Fleetwood Mac, Aynsley Dunbar, The Animals, Manfred Mann and many more. What I didn’t realise until quite recently was how much these bands owed to The Ealing Club, rightly dubbed the birthplace of British Rhythm & Blues. The Ealing Club team now needs your help to get funding for some really exciting music projects. Can you help? All you have to do is vote to show your support:
‘The Ealing Club Community Interest Company has applied to the AVIVA Community Fund to capture additional funding for projects that will sit alongside a series of exciting new concerts. By registering and voting YOU could persuade one of Britain’s largest companies to fund the following initiatives for Ealing Borough:
– Music workshops that put instruments into the hands of people of all ages
– New vitality in forgotten places where LIVE MUSIC has been absent for many years: e.g BandStands & Empty shops
– Activities that highlight Ealing Borough’s momentous relationship with Blues & Rock Music while also providing a boost to all other genres of music that exist in West London
YOUR VOTE COULD REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE! ‘
