Music & Performance

We have two performance areas. The main Music Stage features bands spanning the range of popular music. Sometimes they're local, sometimes they aren't.

The Community Stage at the bandstand showcases local talent in music, dance, sports etc. The stage is curated by Westside Radio, Hanwell's community radio station, who scour the Ealing area for the very best to present to you.

Main Stage

12:00 BEN RICHARDSON

A singer-songwriter from North-East England with Irish roots, Ben began teaching himself to play guitar in November 2022 and would go on to perform at an open mic evening for the first time in January 2023.

Buoyed on by feedback regarding his unique and emotional voice, Ben became a regular on the grassroots music scene in London and soon started writing his own music - of which elements of rock, folk, indie and soul can beheard - reflective of his own eclectic taste in music.

Ben has plans to take his music to bigger audiences and record and EP in early 2024.
