Club Louise
One facet of early punk life in London was that there were no punk clubs, with the gap filled for some by lesbian and gay clubs - probably the only place where the first punks could go without being hassled. Most famous was Club Louise in Soho, opened in 1973 behind a red painted door...where the teenage style terrorists of the so-called Bromley Contingent hung out - including Siouxsie Sioux - as well as members of the Sex Pistols , The Clash and The Slits . The manager was (unsurprisingly) Madame Louise, a chic, older French woman in a black dress and diamond jewellery, grey waved hair, heavy eyeliner and a grey fur coat if the weather was cold. Not everyone was allowed in.
