Interesting piece over at the NME suggesting that London's legendary 100 Club might be closing. There's a campaign in the works to save it, but overhead costs are becoming too high for the club to continue to operate the way it's been operating.
Mick Jones has even said that he would do what he can to help.
I remember seeing old flyers of the Clash with the venue listed as the 100 club, or a number of other punk bands (the Vibrators, Sex Pistols, Damned are the first that come to mind). When venues get shut down like this--much like CBGB's in New York--I always wish I would have had the opportunity to play a show there before it disappeared. Sad.
