East Of Ealing are unlike any other band you've heard - a roots rocking 5 piece that has the crowd up and bopping from the word go. Original and dynamic, an East of Ealing gig swiftly becomes a world party. Who else would add a dash of Celtic to Cajun, Reggae to Russian, Tex-Mex to Techno, Dub to Dervish, South African to Samba and Greek to Groove. No musical straight jackets here!
Stephanie Graffitti, red haired, red hot playing on the Zeta electric fiddle doubles on mandolin and vocals. Steph has performed in the USA, Europe and MGM TV in France. Double necked acoustic guitar wizard Big Mac belts out vocals and harmonica and has worked with Ralph McTell, Dorris Henderson, McGuinness Flint and The Levee Breakers. Double bass and squeeze box merchant Jim Bean (ex Disney) along with the powerhouse drums of Chris Cosmos provide the kick ass rhythm that fuels East of Ealing. Both have played all over the UK and Europe with all kinds of lineups and into all kinds of trouble! Magliite Mik (aka Sluggy) electric and acoustic guitar supremo adds another exciting dimension to the E.O.E. sound, whether playing intricate picking style or rockin' out!
Promoting their great new album, 'The Great Unknown', this band are guaranteed to warm you up on a cold winter's night.

Review
Female-fiddle-fronted, London's East of Ealing filled the dance floor with their energetic multi-cultural musical brew. "Young" isn't a word you'd choose to describe this band, so our Guardian gig listing stressing their youth remains a mystery... mustn't grumble, Cambria Arts is happy that this upright organ regularly features our gigs.
