Here, in December 1962, a young (and not yet famous) Bob Dylan gave his first English folk performance.
Later, on the 4th of October 1982 The Pogues played their first gig here. Oasis debut performance in London also took place at the venue on 27 January 1994.
In the 1960’s and 1970’s The Scots Hoose (as The Spice of Life was called then) was a popular venue for folk musicians, and saw many great acts of the time, such as Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and Cat Stevens perform there. In the punk craze of the late 70s even The Sex Pistols played at the venue.
Behind London’s famous Savoy Hotel, at the intersection of Savoy Hill Road and a dead-end alley called Savoy Steps, was shot the videoclip of Bob Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues.
