- Back to Kingly Street and 'The Bag Of Nails' or Bags as it was known by in the 60s.
I am sure most people know the history of this club so I will not go into it here.
I was told that the Pinstripe club was on the same site as The Bag Of Nails but on looking on the net it seems it used to be at number 4 where The Bag Of Nails was at number 8.
I was not around when the Pinstripe Club was there so maybe someone will be able to clear the matter up.
I don't thinl that is the Bag O Nails as it was downstairs in a basement. Lloydy on the door only let in trendy people whether male or female. I know cos I went there often. I sat in there with Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Jimi Hendrix (yuk!) etc and the music was phenomenal.
any of you also remember "CAFE DES ARTISTE" in Earls court
I remember it well (I think!) It wasn't licenced, so toasted cheese sarnies and coke were the order of the evening. I'm pretty sure I saw a very young Queen play there once.
Yup! used to play there every Tuesday in 'Spike'
Fascinating!!!! Love it!
This is where Jimi Hendrix met Paul Mcartney.
More great commentary on its history, and those comments. Brilliant.
I was a DJ at "The Bag"O"Nails" alongside Needles who was the "man". On my nights off I would go to the Bag after I had been to the La Valbonne, Louie Brown was the owner then, who I worked for as a DJ at another cub he had called the Defeldermous in Carlise Street of Dean Street.
Remember the 'bag' so well..
Al (needles) was the best DJ in London at that time, making sure no one ever sat down for a minute..he was one in a million..
Worked dj Samantha's 1968
i remember Dj Needles, grt guy, is he still around please?
He died some years ago.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that..Al was an oh so amazing DJ and a very good friend back in Bag o' Nails days..
Speakeasy was in Margaret Street on the north side of Oxford st
You went through a wardrobe to enter the club if I remember right.
Not one of my favs to tell you the truth.
Took me back in time with that one.
mario was on the door at the bag o' nails in the mid to late 60's..he'd be the one who'd let us in and tell us who was there that evening..jimi, eric burdon, sadie, the lesbian who'd arrive with her harem of 4 or maybe 5 girls..i had a chat with linda in the ladies(before she met paul, who was often there and sat quietly on his own) about her amazing snakeskin boots..
shufflewick remember it as a student back in '59 . When I got my 1st car (Vauxhall Wyvern 1955) used to drive up there from Hounslow for a coffee !
Did you work there then or just frequent? Did you know Mario well? My Aunt Maureen was there, so I’m interested in it’s history. She said she had a publicity photo taken there with Mick Jagger.
I saw Jimmy hendrix play with eric burden pete green and brian auger . Every one who was eneyone was in there
hi, did this club change its name to the candy box in 70s? then to the late late show?
I don't think so Candy Box was further along the road but on the same side.
Yes, you went down a corridor, then tapt the door, allso had flap, to see who was there, i had free membership, nice club, thankyou :-)
Candy box was downstairs went many times when dj at Samantha's
