Three days before tonight’s Sex Pistols performance at the Royal Albert Hall in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust, the band had played a “surprise” gig at the 100 Club, one of the infamous punk venues of 1976 and 1977.
They were billed on Friday as the Spots, which stands for ‘Sex Pistols On Tour Secretly’, the name used by the original band to book gigs in 1977 when it was likely that they would have been shut down by police. On Friday they played a barnstorming set in front of fans and stars alike, including Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher, Gary Kemp and Bobby Gillespie.
