The Pigalle Club was a supper club and live music venue in Piccadilly, in the West End area of Central London. It was owned by John Vincent Power.[1][2] Dave West also owned shares in the Pigalle Club.[3][4]

Background

Originally located at another site in Piccadilly,[5] the club re-opened in April 2006.[6] Designed by Stephen Donald and furnished by Shaun Clarkson, the sophisticated Pigalle Club was inspired by 1940s aesthetics.[7] It offered fine dining and live musical entertainment, with tables clustered around the stage. The 400-capacity venue hosted artists performing jazz, and occasionally soul and pop music, alongside cabaret and burlesque acts.[2][7]

Romeo Z (resident band),[11] Sammy Davis Jr, Boy George, Duffy,[12] Eartha Kitt, Sinéad O'Connor, John McKeown,[13] Basia, Horace Andy, Brian Kennedy, Nerina Pallot and Immodesty Blaize.[14]

The Pigalle Club closed down in 2012. It was replaced by a new establishment in 2014, Warewolf,[15][16] which soon also ceased operating.
