North Acton Community Event
North Acton Playing Fields will be transformed with music, art, culture and community THIS coming Sunday 15th April between 1 and 5 pm. Having recently taken on the management of North Acton Pavilion, we are very pleased to announce that 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 with mesmerizing rhythms. We are very pleased that ‘Steve & Dave’ will share their unique blend of sax, vocals and guitar. Vocalist, Asia, will bring young talent to the performance programme. We are honoured to be joined by the 'Ukulele 音音NéNé' and Sakura choir for their musical performance. 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.
There is a strong visual art content on the day with infamous street artist Teddy Baden, creating his wonderful art piece on the Pavilion: ‘Waiting for Doggo.’ See Teddy in action as he makes art public! We are very pleased to be joined by Hercules Fisherman with his Sumi Live painting where he will draw portraits with sumi brushes and ink. Each portrait only takes a few minutes timed with an hour glass timer. Something not to miss!
