Summary

[edit]
Description

Singer James Royal playing at the historic Ealing Club on 24 July 2019 -- for the first time since 1967. His backing band for the one-off gig included two other 1960s Ealing Club veterans – amplification company co-founder Terry Marshall on sax, and Deep Purple founding member Nick Simper on bass. James Royal had a Thursday night residency at the Ealing Club’s twist sessions with his band Jimmy Royal & The Hawks. Marshall was a 1960s Ealing Club Sunday night regular with the Soul Messengers, while Simper played on Wednesdays with the Delta 5. Royal’s backing band for the 2019 Ealing gig also included Strawbs drummer and Part of The Union co-writer Richard Ford. James Royal moved to Brisbane, Australia in 1984 after a career as a singer with record releases on the Decca, Parlophone, CBS, Carnaby, and Philips labels.

Still in use as a night spot called the Red Room, the basement premises opposite Ealing Broadway was known for a number of years as the Ealing Club. From March 1962 was the UK’s first R&B venue. It is notable as the place where the members of the Rolling Stones first met and performed together and where The Who and many other influential musicians played some of their earliest gigs. The prototype ‘loud’ Marshall guitar amplifier was first used in public at the Ealing Club in 1963.
