How this is connected to this gig I dont know except the Pistols played under many suedonyms and Jackie Lynton Band and Jimmy Riddle and the Pisspots and various names. Except this is from Thursday 27th December 1979! We suspect this MM staff taking the piss?
The 100 Club
The 100 Club is a historic music venue located at 100 Oxford Street, London, England, which has been hosting live music since 1942. It has played a significant role in the development of various music scenes, including the birth of punk with iconic performances by bands like The Sex Pistols, The Clash, and Siouxsie & The Banshees.
The venue has also been associated with other genres, such as reggae, indie, and rock, and has hosted performances by a wide range of artists, including The Rolling Stones, The Jam, and Paul McCartney. The 100 Club's rich history and intimate setting have made it an institution for secret shows by major acts. The venue's legacy is documented in a new book that celebrates its 75-year history[2][3][5].
As for the specific request regarding The Clash, the band played at the 100 Club during the first international punk festival in September 1976, which is considered a watershed moment for the punk rock movement. The gig showcased eight punk rock bands, including The Sex Pistols, The Damned, and The Clash, and is historically significant as it helped propel punk rock from the underground into the mainstream music scene[1][2].

JOE: Since the mid-1960s | tried to keep a transistor radio with me all the time so | could listen to the pirate stations in school break times. At The 100 Club, when we supported the Pistols, we'd decided that because we were punks we wouldn't talk to the audience, we'd just play, straight from one song to the next.
That was great as long as you didn't have to stop, but Keith Levene broke a string and there was a horrible gap — there we were in a club with three or four hundred lunatics all lagered up and foaming at the mouth, and | couldn't just stand there and look at them, it would be ridiculous.
So I grabbed my transistor radio from the top of the piano where I'd thrown it as we went on, turned it on and held it up to the microphone. It just happened that there was a really heavy news bulletin or panel discussion about the IRA and the bombing campaign that was going on in London being broadcast. Dave Goodman, who was the Pistols' soundman, had the nous to put a hip dub echo on the mic, so the announcer was saying, ‘Bomb-bomb-bomb, Piccadilly-piccadilly-piccadilly', and it filled the gap so well that it's become a kind of punk folk tale.
It was just a bit of luck. But after that gig we abandoned that stance and started speaking to the audience.
PAUL: Years later somebody told me that Malcolm had invited some Americans to The 100 Club that night to see the Pistols, but they saw us and went home thinking they'd seen the Pistols. They said to Malcolm: ‘Yeah it's a really great show, but we didn't know you had two guitars.' It must have been a bit difficult for Malcolm to say they'd seen the wrong group.

WHEN I FIRST interviewed the Clash in their barrack like studio in Chalk Farm, they had yet to sign a record contract, although they were already one of the punk scene's favourite bands.
