The Northcote Arms, just a back street boozer in Southall, west London, had a small club on the side, known as the Farx Club, which ran from March 1969 till 1972.
On March 30th 1969, , Led Zeppelin played, for an entrance fee of 8 Shillings. They had not long released their first album & would go on to play Stadiums across the globe & be rock gods to some.
In it's 3 years The Farx would play host to many artists who would be become, known. large or huge...such as Genesis, Yes, Mott the Hoople, Supertramp, Hawkwind,Slade,Status Quo & also Aardvark...?...no me neither. Plus a few that were known performers like Gene Vincent & also The Crazy World of Arthur Brown featuring a young Carl Palmer.
Unsure when the pub itself shut, the late 1990s is best guess, (image of the closed pub after a fire is from 2010.)
The building is now a retirement home which looks after people a similar age as the musicians, who used to play there, are now.
