The Red Cow – London

Situated at 157 Hammersmith Road, London W6. Bands who played at The Red Cow included The Stranglers, 999, The Damned, the Police, the Jam, Tom Robinson, The Skids, and AC/DC (their debut gig in England!) and was a regular venue for bands playing London. The Stranglers famously played to a packed crowd in September 1978 in a secret gig as The Shakespearoes.

In the early eighties, the brewery decided it wanted to turn the Red Cow into a family pub, and the venue closed down with a month-long festival. It was demolished and a smaller pub and Thai restaurant were built.
