English: Between 1962 and 1965 the Red Room nightclub at 42A The Broadway, Ealing, London W5 2NP was at the centre of the British rhythm & blues music scene. The Ealing Club was founded in March 1962 by blues musicians Alexis Korner&Cyril Davies and is widely regarded as the cradle of blues-based rock music. Situated in a basement opposite Ealing Broadway rail and Underground station the Club is where Mick Jagger&Keith Richards met Brian Jones and is where subsequently on Tuesday 15 January 1963 the classic line-up of the Rolling Stones played their first public gig. One Sunday night later that year another landmark event took place at the Ealing Club - the first live performance ever to use the classic ‘loud’ Marshall JTM45 guitar amplifier. The band assembled to test the pre-production amp included future Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell — who worked in the Marshall shop in nearby Hanwell, and saxophonist Terry Marshall, the ‘T’ in ‘JTM’.
