Broadband provider TalkTalk has announced it will be sponsoring the jazz and comedy festivals in Ealing this year.

The Jazz Festival, which is held in Walpole Park, takes place between July 23rd and 27th, while the comedy can be seen on July 11th and 12th, then from the 16th to the 18th.

Managing director of TalkTalk Wendy Becker said: "We are delighted to be able to support these two festivals, which over the past years have continued to provide great entertainment for local families and also attract new visitors to the area."

The news of music and broadband coming together comes after TalkTalk responded to threats from the music industry earlier in the year regarding music piracy.

Chief executive of the Carphone Warehouse Group explained that broadband providers should not be obliged to police the internet and take action against customers who were found to be downloading illegally, saying he wanted to defend the freedom of internet users.
