Scotch of St James
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Scotch of St James club was a popular meeting place for rock musicians during the mid 1960s [1] situated at 13 Masons Yard, Westminster, London SW1.[2][3] Paul McCartney frequently visited it, as well Rod Stewart, Eric Burdon, Ronnie Wood and bands like The Moody Blues and The Spencer Davis Group.[4]
The club was where a then unknown Jimi Hendrix played his first gig in England on 24 September 1966, when he joined the house band for some blues standards.[5] On 19 October 1966 the Jimi Hendrix Experience played their first UK gig as a private showcase at Scotch of St James.[6]
