This salon is part of the Soho Series at London's exclusive Century Club
To mark the publication of his definitive biography The Life & Times Of Malcolm McLaren, author Paul Gorman will talk about the fourth-generation Londoner McLaren’s life in the capital and in particular his connections to Soho, which he first visited in the early 60s as an adventurous teen, haunting such coffee bars as Le Macabre, pioneering menswear outlets including Vince Man’s Shop and nightclubs such as Peter Rachman’s La Discotheque.
The illustrated talk will also cover McLaren’s penchant for Soho’s subterranean club culture of the 1970s - including such legendary nightspots as the Candy Box and Le Duce - and his decision to base himself in Shaftesbury Avenue during his stewardship of the Sex Pistols, his acquisition of their rehearsal space in Denmark Street and his later occupancy of number 25 Tin Pan Alley during the early 80s when he made the hit albums Duck Rock and Fans before leaving the city for a career as a Hollywood film producer.
