Paul McCartney To Play London's 100 Club This Week

Sir Paul McCartney will play the 100 Club in London this Friday (December 17) lunchtime, it's been announced.

The former Beatle will perform to just 300 fans at the venue, which is facing closure due to spiralling rent prices.

It will mark Sir Paul's smallest gig since he played the Cavern Club in Liverpool in 1999.

"I've played all sorts of different venues over the years and this kind of show presents a different kind of challenge to performing in a stadium,” he said.

"I love performing and I love connecting with audiences, be it in a stadium or arena or in a club. 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."

The gig is in addition to Sir Paul's previously announced Christmas gigs in London and Liverpool next week.
