The stage that was erected here in 1964 by then-owner Roger Horton, has weathered sweat, blood, tears — and its fair share of spittle — and remains, to this day, the exact same stage. That means it's hosted everyone from Howlin' Wolf to The Rolling Stones to The Clash to Amy Winehouse. Imagine the supergroups you could create from the acts who've p...
In its early days as a jazz haunt, the venue hosted the likes of Glenn Miller, Ray Ellington and Benny Goodman. But there was one regular who really made a name for himself here: trumpeter extraordinaire Humphrey Lyttelton. So much so, in fact, that for a while, the venue was renamed the Humphrey Lyttelton Club. He was indeed the same Humphrey Lytt...
There was, of course, life at 100 Oxford Street before its days as a music venue. One of the notable establishments that preceded it couldn't have been much more different from the murky basement of the 100 Club. Between 1859 and 1928, the address was home to the shimmering showroom of glass and crystal makers, Osler. "The visitor to London who lea...
All that pogo jumping and lager swilling back in the punk heyday, made for hungry work. Just as well, then, that at one point, the club had its own Chinese takeaway, slotted neatly between the gents' and ladies' toilets. As Simon Wright remembers in The Guardian, "In addition to the usual smells of beer and sweat, it smelled of egg fried rice, too....
It's impossible to mention the 100 Club without bringing up Sid Vicious. Most famous as the snarky bassist of The Sex Pistols, Vicious actually appeared on the drums for the infamous 1976 Punk Special, in a line-up that included Viv Albertine and Siouxsie Sioux. At the time, the band had no name and no real songs — probably why they ended up doing ...
When Metallica performed a warm up for Castle Donnington at the 100 Club in 1987, enthusiastic fans started queuing up from 6.30am. As many as 12,000 waited outside the venue, trying to get in. Nothing could get down Oxford Street in either direction for hours.
Even famous music venues have been known to indulge in the odd spot of #bantz over the years — as this letter from Ronnie Scott, to then-owner of the 100 Club Roger Horton, suggests:
While we're on the subject of money... On 24 March 1994, Oasis played a sizzling six-song-set at The 100 Club. How much did the band cost to book? According to a memo, which features in the book 100 Club Stories, it was £250. Not bad, seeing as in recent times, the band has turned down millions to reform. The same memo cheerfully warns: "The PA is ...
The Beatles never played The 100 Club, but in 2010, Sir Paul McCartney took to the stage, to rattle off classics including Magical Mystery Tour, Drive My Car and Band on the Run. The rare intimate gig was part of a fundraiser to save the club, and it appears to have done the trick. The best bit of banter? McCartney quipping, "People used to give us...
In celebration of this legendary club, a London venue with as much character as the bands booked to play there, Fred Perry and Ditto are releasing a book of anecdotal stories from its 75-year history. From the musicians who played there through to the bar staff and the customers they served, each unique story adds to the legend and myth of this ...
