Little Lore at Rock's Diamond Year

 —  —

Open Arts Centre, Unit 14, School Lane, Dicken's Yard, London

Special 'acoustic' performances from Hedara, Little Lore & Stacey Woods will mark a celebration of Ealing's Women in Music held as part of Rock's Diamond Year 2022.

Whilst the West London Blues musicians of 1962 tended to be male, two female singers from Ealing were already becoming household names. Dusty Springfield would release her first solo single, ‘I only want to be with you’ in 1962. American museums acknowledge her role in championing the music of Tamla Motown. Cleo Laine was already gaining attention as an actor and jazz singer by 1962 performing with the Johnny Dankworth Orchestra. She would subsequently be regarded as the foremost jazz singer born in Britain. In later decades, Kirsty MacColl would become an Ealing resident while establishing herself as one of the most appreciated talents from the UK music scene.
