YolanDa Brown said: “I love meeting and working with young people. In fact my biggest inspiration comes from them. I am really looking forward to playing at Ealing Youth Prom and meeting all the fantastic young musicians from Ealing Schools across the borough"

Councillor Patricia Walker, cabinet member for Children and Young People, said: “The Ealing Youth Prom is a wonderful opportunity to see the talent that is being fostered in our schools through the very good work of the Ealing Music Service. We are also very fortunate to be joined by professional musicians, YolanDa Brown and Tomorrow’s Warriors.

“I wish this event every success and hope that it becomes a permanent fixture in Ealing’s events calendar.”
