Situated at 157 Hammersmith Road, London W6. Bands who played at The Red Cow included The Stranglers, 999, The Damned, The Police, The Jam, Tom Robinson, The Skids, and AC/DC (their debut gig in England!) and was a regular venue for bands playing London. The Stranglers famously played to a packed crowd in September 1978 in a secret gig as The Shakespearoes. In the early eighties, the brewery decided it wanted to turn The Red Cow into a family pub, and the venue closed down with a month-long festival. It was demolished and a smaller pub and Thai restaurant were built. This blurb was 'borrowed' from the excellent www.punk77.co.uk website, make sure you pay the site a visit!
