THE EALING CLUB

Welcome to The Ealing Club website:

Dedicated to promoting, preserving and furthering Ealing’s Blues and Rock Heritage.

In July 2011, live music returned to one of Ealing’s legendary venues, “The Ealing Club” (or Ealing Jazz Club). It was here where the “British Rhythm and Blues Boom” of the 1960′s kicked off, when it hosted the first rehearsals of Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated in 1961. On 17 March 1962, (St. Patrick’s Day night) Blues Incorporated began regular blues nights at the club initiating a new music scene, in front of a young crowd, hungry for new sounds.

Blues Incorporated were the first British Musicians who played amplified blues guitar and they were witnessed by the leading lights, of the first generation of British Rock Musicians. “Blues Rock” began here, in Ealing.

The “British Rhythm and Blues Boom” would reverberate across London and eventually reach the U.S through bands and performers who “cut their teeth” at the venue. These would include particularly, the Rolling Stones, Manfred Mann and the Who, but there were many others.
