North Acton Playing Fields will be transformed with music, art, culture and community

A community event is being held this Sunday 15 April between 1pm and 5pm at North Acton Playing Fields.

Having recently taken on the management of North Acton Pavilion, ARTification is launching with an afternoon of creativity created with local talent and groups.

The music performance programme kicks off with The Drummers of Dance Carib who will open the event. ‘Steve & Dave’ will share their unique blend of sax, vocals and guitar. Vocalist, Asia, will bring young talent to proceedings. The 'Ukulele 音音NéNé' and Sakura choir will also be performing. The programme will conclude with ‘Fire at Will’ who explained: “William Owen, with band Fire at Will, makes a long overdue return to his home town of Acton. Make sure you catch them, it could be another 15 years before they're back again!” Sound courtesy of Intermate Connection.
