About

Urban Fox Orchestra Steelband (UFO) is an Ealing-based charity that spreads joy through steelpan music, welcoming people of all ages and abilities — including visually and hearing-impaired players.

This year, UFO is once again taking part in Notting Hill Carnival on Sunday, 24th August — and they need our help to wrap-up after their big performance.
