Ronnie Wood and Mick Taylor to Play 'Save 100 Club' Gig?

Having played there twice -- once as warm-up for their 1982 European tour and then again in 1986 in tribute to their late keyboardist Ian Stewart -- the Rolling Stones are inextricably linked to London's legendary 100 Club. Now former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor and his successor Ronnie Wood are understood to be taking part in a star-studded benefit concert for the venue on Dec. 1.

As previously reported on Spinner, the venue -- which has hosted gigs by the Kinks, Sex Pistols, B.B. King, the Who, the White Stripes and Oasis -- is facing closure due to escalating rents and business rates.

The gig is being organised by blues guitarist Stephen Dale Petit who said via NME, "There is no other venue like it on earth -- when you walk downstairs it's like entering a magic portal. I always feel honoured to perform there, and this show is going to be extra special."

The remaining names on the bill are expected to be revealed by organisers over the next few days. Tickets for the event are on sale now priced £35 ($55). A Facebook campaign to save the 100 Club has attracted over 15,000 members and organisers of the the Save the 100 Club campaign are hoping to save the venue by raising £500,000 [$787,000] by the end of November.
