Campaign Launched To Save 100 Club Venue

A campaign has been launched to help save London's 100 Club venue, which is facing closure.

The venue, which opened in 1942 and saw early performances from The Sex Pistols and The Clash, is struggling with soaring overheads.

But a campaign, Save The 100 Club, is now hoping to protect the venue for future generations.

Founder and musician Tony Morrison said: “In over 30 years of being a musician, I have seen venues like the Marquee, CBGB's and virtually the whole of the London pub circuit disappear and this countries reputation of new and exciting music is under threat because of these factors.

“Where are new bands going to play when the last venue has shut up shop? We need to be able to say in 10 years time, the music scene in London and the UK is thriving, don't we?”

Save The 100 Club is hopinh to raise £500,000 before the end of November in order to help save the venue.
