100 Club is famous for its historical heritage because it has seen performances from acts as diverse as The Sex Pistols, Muddy Waters, Hugh Masekela, Lee Konitz, Oasis, Lonnie Donnegan, Jimmy McGriff and Travis to The Clash,The White Stripes, Yank Lawson, Sinead O'Conner, Nico, Chris Barber and Beverly Knight.
Unfortunately, the venue certainly needed help. According to Guardian. co.uk, the venue Amid rising costs, higher rent and lower revenues, the venue that helped launch acts such as the Sex Pistols was on the verge of closure. I think that government has to support such venues which are important to cultural life and music history. Especially for London, it will have better image in young peoples' eyes and more people will trust the government.
The funny fact is that punk club was saved by Converse!!! Absolutely different attitude and understanding about music. But 100 Club was really struggling so they got a great deal and the music venue was saved and not changes.
Still there are some questions about changing the name and becoming independent. But as Horton said: "They were the first people to come and see me and ask if they could do anything to help ... The fact that the club will remain independent [is what] appeals to them so much."
He hopes that the club is going to be opened another 68 years.
Fingers crossed!!!
