Sir Paul McCartney to play 100 Club gig in London
Sir Paul McCartney is to play his smallest gig for more than 10 years at the 100 Club in London.
The Beatles legend will play at the 300-capacity venue, which is under threat of closure, on Friday lunchtime.
"I'm looking forward to being able to interact with fans on a face-to-face basis, not to mention the smell of sweat and beer," Sir Paul said.
A campaign to save the club has gained support from Rolling Stones star Ronnie Wood and Oasis singer Liam Gallagher. During its 70-year history, the intimate venue has hosted concerts by acts including Louis Armstrong, The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Sex Pistols, Oasis and Metallica.
It will be Sir Paul's smallest gig since he played at the Cavern Club in Liverpool in 1999, his representatives said. Tickets go on sale at 1000 GMT on Wednesday. The "stripped down" show will be a warm-up for two further gigs - in London on Saturday and in his home city of Liverpool on Monday.
Meanwhile, the campaign to save the 100 Club received a boost recently when Ronnie Wood performed on its stage as part of a benefit concert.
