About The Scotch of St James

The Scotch of St James is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

The Scotch of St James is a nightclub, live music and private event space which first opened its doors on the 14th of July 1965.

Renowned as the preferred playground for just about every major music personality of the swinging 60's the club famously played host to a then-unknown Jimi Hendrix's first impromptu gig on arrival in England in 1966.

More than twenty years after it last opened its doors, The Scotch was restored in January of 2012 and re-launched in March of 2014 after an eight-month partnership with Le Baron in 2013.

The current Scotch team is dedicated to building on its illustrious heritage as a culturally significant meeting point, aiming to host the city's most relevant and exciting events and personalities in music, fashion, film and the arts.
