Some of the country's best jazz artists will come together in August for the Drayton Court Jazz Festival in Ealing .

Following the success of last year’s festival, the event has been extended to three days and will feature well-known bands.

It was set up by the founder of Ealing Jazz Festival, Dick Esmond, in response to Ealing Council's cuts to the event he set up 30 years ago in the Plough Inn in Northfield Avenue.

The council had capped its spending at £72,000 due to the "poor" attendance for the three days it chose to cut.

Dick decided to set up a new jazz festival in Ealing last year, where more than 500 music lovers turned out for the one-day event.

He said: “The Drayton Court line-up for this year is as good as ever and brings home the amazing jazz talent based in Ealing”.
