iPM: We Start With Your Stories - The cradle of rhythm and blues

Download The cradle of rhythm and blues

A listener takes us round the Red Room club in Ealing, West London. In the 1960s, the venue was called the Ealing Club and was where The Rolling Stones and The Who played some of their earliest gigs. But there are fears that regeneration in the area will mean the club will have to close its doors forever. Is enough done to protect grass roots music venues?

Plus Annie Nightingale reads our Your News bulletin and reminisces about the iconic Maida Vale studios.

Presented by Luke Jones and Eddie Mair. Produced by Cat Farnsworth.
