Legendary, BBC London DJ Gary Crowley recently visited the iconic steps that kick-started the London Rhythm & Blues boom back in 1962.
It was this location that helped bring together the Rolling Stones, as recalled by Keith Richards during his induction of Alexis Korner to the US Rock Hall of Fame in October 2024. Find more on that here.
We hope more music journalists investigate these forgotten steps which featured in the film Suburban Steps To Rockland – The Story of the Ealing Club.
Gary Crowley’s Saturday show can be found here. On Sunday 21 September he’ll be interviewing Glasgow pop pioneers, The Bluebells in an evening show at The Exchange opposite Twickenham Station…..Gary Crowley Presents an evening with the Bluebells
Alas, The Bluebells never played the Ealing Club but we did manage to host violinist Bobby Valentino alongside Phil Odgers [16 March 2019 @ Questors Theatre, Ealing]. Bluebells fans will be very aware of Bobby’s contribution to the single Young At Heart…
Anyway, the Ealing Club isn’t always about the blues heritage…and the music continues.
LIVE MUSIC CONTINUES IN 2025!
Next up on 5th September we have special, impromptu gig from David Graham & The Eskimo Brothers + Ben Waters & Ian Jennings. Support also from the amazing Leoni Kennedy who proved her worth at Ealing Blues Festival 2025. Tickets & sign up to the Ealing Club mailing list here: https://www.ealingclub.com
