We’re guilty of rarely venturing too far west in London, but when we do we always live our days up, attending outstanding events and enjoying every minute of it.

The 2018 edition of Ealing Jazz Festival was no exception. Despite the blustery weather blowing sand all over Walpole Park and forcing the audience to squeeze their eyes shut, under the two tents set up as stages it was an oasis of quality music and smooth vibes.

Some far-reaching sounds from the likes of Afro-Brazilian Londoners Let Drum Beat, plenty of urban jazz thanks to Zara McFarlane and Vels Trio, and a flood of musicianship from those such as drum master Tony Allen kept us company throughout our Ealing visit on the last Saturday of July.
