THE BEGINNING

The 100 Club has been promoting live music on the same premises since 1942. Originally a restaurant called Mack's, live music was first played here when British jazz drummer Victor Feldman's father hired the venue on a regular Sunday night to showcase the talents of his jazz loving sons and their band. The band consisted of Victor, also known as 'kid Krupa' because of his style of playing, and his two brothers Robert (clarinet) and Monty (accordion). They were joined by legendary British jazz man Jimmy Skidmore (tenor sax) for the opening night on 24th October 1942.
