Eel Pie Island Museum

Eel Pie Island Museum Trad Jazz, Skiffle, Blues, British Beat, Prog Rock, Heavy Rock, Psychedelia and even a touch of Glam.

Jazz Ravers, Rockers, Mods, Hippies and Beatniks...
The fantastic musical history made on Eel Pie Island encompasses it all, plus it has a fascinating riparian heritage, all of which is set to be celebrated in our forthcoming museum. Building on two books and a successful exhibition in 2013, project organiser Michele Whitby says 'It has been a long term ambition of mine to establish a museum dedic

ated to the fantastic, inspiring history of Eel Pie Island. The appeal of music heritage is only increasing and we need to show the world what we have to offer here in Twickenham.'
In 2015 we ran a pop-up museum in Twickenham Library from June until the end of October which saw over 1200 visitors. We have moved into new premises and are hoping to be open early 2017. In the meantime, we would appreciate you spreading the word for us; Invite your friends to hit the 'like' button, let us know if you'd like to get more involved, tell us if you or your business would like to be a sponsor, or perhaps you have items that could be loaned for display? This is being set up for the world-wide Eel Pie community and we'd love you to feel part of it!

Happy birthday Woody! Hope you’re havin a blast superstar 🎉🎂😃🤟🎸 x
