Events coming up in Ealing

Thursday: Changing attitudes to Immigration during the 1920's – 1970's

There is evidence of black people in our locality since 1724, but the number was very limited until the twentieth century, despite visits by American gospel choirs in Southall in the late nineteenth century. In the 1920s John Alexander Barbour James lived in Acton and Cleo Laine in Southall in the 1930s, but there were also instances of hostility to two other black residents.

In the 1950s and 1960s numbers grew as black people took jobs in factories and elsewhere. There were also black students and clergymen and in the 1960s prominent photographer Stephen Manufor lived in Ealing and Jimi Hendrix visited Hanwell. The first local black group was founded in Acton in this decade.

Thursday: Ealing Southall's Community Forum

Residents will have the opportunity to engage with representatives across public services share their experiences and views on living in Ealing Southall.

Panellists include:

• Dr Claire Dillon - Director of Integrated Community Health Services
• Aruna Sharma - Headteacher at Villiers High School
• Ealing Met Police representative
• Ealing Council representative

Friday: The Ealing Club

"Our mums and dads wanted the peace and quiet of their beige lives - and we wanted noise!"

Just below the ABC Teashop opposite Ealing Broadway tube, a revolution is taking place. Out of the cold, grey winter of 1962 comes the wild amplification of electric guitars and Chicago heat. Five young people make their way down a set of dark, narrow steps into the Ealing Club, an escape from their beige lives - the birthplace of British Blues.

The space race is on. The USA moves on Cuba. The world seems trigger happy. And the roar of John Lee Hooker beckons.

A tale of bending notes, falling in love and almost being there for the birth of The Rolling Stones. Written by Julian Smith, in collaboration with the Ealing Club and part of the 60 year anniversary of The Rolling Stones first gig. This will be its world premiere.

Friday: Literary Night at the Brentham Club

The Brentham Club is delighted to welcome local biographer & author Andrew Wilson to its First Literary Night in the Top Bar at The Club.
