I’d be interested to hear from anyone who can add any memories of particular shows in the comments below. It is important to stress that these are listings for artists who were advertised in the music press so it’s quite possible that changes in the final billing may have taken place. Disc & Music Echo also regularly advertised the venue. All of the shows listed below are from Melody Maker unless otherwise noted. Melody Maker advertised gigs for the Whisky A Go Go every week, although there were gaps in places, particularly in late 1968 and during 1970. I have started to compile a list of artists who were advertised from 1966 to 1970 and would welcome any additions/corrections. However, it appears that the club really took off in late 1966, with listings four times a week. It’s not clear when it first opened its doors to rock artists but according to London Life magazine, occasional live groups did perform at the venue during 1965. Located at 33/37 Wardour Street, the Whisky A Go Go was a major rock music venue during the mid-late 1960s and was situated in the same building as the Flamingo.
