Notes

The Marquee, site of the gig that became GOTTA LET THIS HEN OUT, is possibly the most iconic venue name in London, moving between several sites over the years.

It first opened as a jazz club in a former cinema on Oxford Street in 1958. However, its best-known address was 90 Wardour Street, thanks to the acts that played there during the club’s long stint at the premises. Robyn's appearances were all at Wardour Street.

The Marquee club moved to this site, a former Burberry clothing store, in 1964. The first band to take to the stage was The Yardbirds, and over the years practically every big-name act of the period played here: Cream, David Bowie, Black Sabbath, Fleetwood Mac, The Cure, Kiss, Led Zeppelin and U2, to name just a few.

This venue closed its doors for the last time in 1988, when the club moved to Charing Cross Road for eight years; the Wardour Street building was converted into residential flats. A blue plaque on the building commemorates Keith Moon – the drummer from The Who – who played the venue an impressive 29 times.
