==Music== [[File:Ealing Club Blue Plaque.jpg|thumb|[[Blue plaque]] for [[Ealing Jazz Club]]]] [[Mick Jagger]] and [[Keith Richards]] of [[the Rolling Stones]] first met [[Brian Jones]] in 1962 at the [[Ealing Jazz Club]], opposite Ealing Broadway station. Other artists who performed at the club include [[Rod Stewart]] and [[Manfred Mann]]. The Jazz Club is now a [[nightclub]] called the ''Red Room''. The Beatles alighted at West Ealing station (the old building) in March 1964 to complete the filming of ‘A Hard Day’s Night’ at Edgehill Road in West Ealing. [[Dusty Springfield]] lived at 2 Kent Gardens, West Ealing as a teenager and attended St. Anne's Convent school in Little Ealing Lane.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ealingclub.com/dusty-springfield-ealing/|title=Dusty Springfield - Forever Ealing!|website=THE EALING CLUB|language=en-US|access-date=24 April 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/5900498/Dusty-Springfield.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100305074353/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/5900498/Dusty-Springfield.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=5 March 2010|title=Obituary: Dusty Springfield|date=4 March 1999|access-date=24 April 2020}}</ref> [[Brand New Heavies]] core members (drummer Jan Kincaid, guitarist Simon Bartholomew and bassist Andrew Levy) all hail from Ealing, where they formed the group in 1985.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.zani.co.uk/archive/music-archive/item/339-the-brand-new-heavies-speak-to-zani|title=The Brand New Heavies speak to ZANI|last=Sedazzari|first=Matteo|date=2008|website=Zani|access-date=24 April 2020}}</ref> An August 2013 article in the ''[[Huffington Post]]'' claimed that Ealing could claim to be the home of rock music because of the catalyst effect of the Ealing Club on British musicians.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/mark-hillary/ealing-was-rock-music-born-in-london-w5_b_3825033.html|title=Sexual Ealing: Was Rock Music Born in London W5?|work=The Huffington Post UK|date=28 August 2013}}</ref> Two members of the punk band Zatopeks grew up in Ealing, and the group frequently makes nostalgic or ironic references to the borough in its lyrics.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.letras.com.br/|title=LETRAS - Letras de músicas e músicas para ouvir|website=Letras.com.br}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://de.musicplayon.com/Zatopeks-Turn-To-Gold-Blues-lyrics-4761778.html|title=Songtext: Zatopeks - Turn To Gold Blues|work=MusicPlayOn|access-date=11 April 2014|archive-date=13 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140413124030/http://de.musicplayon.com/Zatopeks-Turn-To-Gold-Blues-lyrics-4761778.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Mitch Mitchell]] of [[the Jimi Hendrix Experience]] was born there in 1947.<ref>{{cite news |last=Sweeting |first=Adam |author-link=Adam Sweeting |title=Mitch Mitchell |url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2008/nov/14/obituary-mitch-mitchell-hendrix-drummer |newspaper=The Guardian |location=United Kingdom |date=14 November 2008 |access-date=22 August 2016}}</ref> [[White Lies (band)|White Lies]] are also from Ealing.<ref>{{cite news|last=Hayes|first=Alex|url=https://www.ealingtimes.co.uk/news/3984584.ealing-band-are-critics-favourite-with-2009-album/|title=Ealing band are critics favourite with 2009 album|date=17 December 2008|work=Ealing Times|access-date=24 April 2020}}</ref>
