The Legendary 100 Club is facing the threat of closure...
The basement venue on Oxford Street, which has seen performances from the likes of Oasis, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, The Clash and Paul Weller, could be shut down in a few months due to spiraling overhead costs.
Club owner Jeff Horton claims that his rates bill has hit £4,000 a month and landlord Lazari Investments have raised the rent by 45 per cent, setting it at £166,000 a year.
Buster Shuffle are due to headline The 100 Club on the 3rd November 2010. A lifetime ambition for Jet their lead singer…
“It was the first proper gig I went to at only 16. Andy Fairweatherlow, Eric Clapton’s rhythm guitarist was playing. It was a magic gig. And I had a piss flanked by Clappers and Andy.
“So many great British bands have played there an
d it is a world famous. As a punter I like that The 100 Club is not genre specific. Rock n Roll, Punk, Jazz, Swing, Indie. You name it, The 100 Club do it. I’m angry it could go.”
On Monday afternoon Buster Shuffle wrote and recorded The 100 Club song and video.
“The video and track is intended to be a viral that will spread the message, we cannot let The 100 Club go without a fight.” Jet, Buster Shuffle
