A former nightclub which hosted some of the biggest bands of the 1960s was honoured with a commemorative plaque today.
The Club a'Gogo, which once stood on Newcastle’s Percy Street, hosted music legends Pink Floyd, The Who, the Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, Cream and Jeff Beck among others. It was also known as the home of The Animals and where Jimi Hendrix famously performed in 1967.
The decision to mount a commemorative plaque on Eldon Square Car Park - the former site of the Handyside Arcade, the building in which the club was located - was taken after a campaign by Jools and Paul Donnelly of Gateshead.
