Description:
A free music festival that aims to bring live music back to the home of the legendary Marshall Amplification.

45 bands will play across 11 venues in Hanwell, London, in tribute to the man behind Marshall Amps, ‘Father of Loud’ Jim Marshall.

The event celebrates the vibrant music scene in the town, where Marshall opened his first shop in 1962.

Come on down to the Hanwell Clock Tower at 4pm for the Official kick-off event for the Hootie before spreading to the local pubs where the live music can be enjoyed.

Jim Marshall was raised in Southall. Jim’s brother Al Marshall said "Southall was home to the Marshalls for many, many years. Dad ran a fish & chip shop (on Western Road, Southall) before moving to 31 Abbotts Road (Southall). Mum, dad & all 7 children were there until Jim moved out to live at 48 Lonsdale Road (Southall) with wife Violet, and, later, son Terry."
