TheEaling Club helped schedule a presentation for the April edition of the festival, a date which was postponed until later in the year. Bill Wyman’s presence at Ealing’s Pitzhanger Manor Museum and our success in helping sell tickets for the event, undoubtedly gave further traction to the acceptance of the Rolling Stones relationship with Ealing. The Ealing Club CIC helped initiate a second Bill Wyman event in Sept 2024 that was held as part of the Chiswick Book Festival. The interest generated by Bill Wyman event encouraged the Ealing Book Festival team to arrange a second music event with Phil Manzanera (Roxy Music) whose visit to Ealing gaveus an opportunity to personally, deliver a copy of Suburban Steps To Rockland to Mr Manzanera who indicated he would sit down and watch the Ealing Club film.
