Percy Street (Legend Street), Newcastle upon Tyne.

Owned by Jimi Hendrix's manager Mike Jeffery and with The Animals as the resident band, the Club aGoGo was one of the hippest clubs in the country. It was part of 'Newcastle's Carnaby Street', the Handyside Arcade, with a branch of local Mod-outfitters Marcus Price next door. After parking their scooters and negotiating the doorman and his ferocious dogs, the immaculately dressed punters could tap their toes to sets by the likes of the Rolling Stones, The Who, Pink Floyd and Wilson Pickett, in a tiny room for the price of a couple of pints.
