The Bag O'Nails
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bag O'Nails club at 8 Kingly Street in Soho, London, was a meeting point for musicians in the 1960s, as well as being a venue for concerts. Many popular musicians and bands played there, including Georgie Fame, and Jimi Hendrix.[1]
After Beatles recording sessions in London, Lennon, Harrison, and Starr would be chauffeured back to their houses in the 'stockbroker belt' of southern England, but their roadie, Mal Evans, personal assistant Neil Aspinall, and McCartney would drive to a late-night club to eat steak, chips, and mushy peas.[2] The Bag O'Nails night-club was one of their favourites, at 8 Kingly Street in Soho, London, as it also presented live music.[3][4] In his memoirs Evans wrote:
| “ | January 19 and 20: "Ended up smashed in Bag O'Nails with Paul and Neil. Quite a number of people attached themselves, oh that it would happen to me... freak out time baby for Mal.[5] | ” |
Paul McCartney met Linda Eastman there on 15 May 1967.[3]
