Ealing Band's Unique Gig

Local musicians play inclusive event for the deaf at Bush Hall

An Ealing band who can often be seen playing at the Ibis Styles Hotel in the town centre or supporting runners at the Ealing Half Marathon will be taking part in a unique event for the inclusion of the deaf community.

Chasing Deer who are Rob on vocals and keyboard, Peter - Lead Guitar and Adam on Drums. They will be launching their album 'Hands On' at Bush Hall, Shepherds Bush, next week – and plan on welcoming deaf guests with sign language.

Guests will also be able to order a drink through an interpreter, buy some merch, and follow the entire concert – including the support acts.

Audience members will also be given balloons to focus on vibration and bass levels, using equipment by Marshall Amps, who started their business in Hanwell, adjusted to resonate the sound waves for them so that they can be experienced with better clarity.

The concert takes place on 22 November and comes after the trio embarked on a campaign supported by the British Deaf Association and Sign Health and have released a single every month this year.

Each artwork for each song showed sign language gestures from a wide array of cultures and backgrounds including a 4-year-old mega-fan, a 90-year-old grandparent.

The band, who are a regular feature on BBC Introducing, have also played twice at the Houses of Parliament and performed at President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Kenyan Music Festival performing their first two EPs Rewriting History and Moving On.

The album Hands On is released on the 30 November on Vinyl, CD/ and Streaming.
