The 100 Club in London attained legendary status in modern British music, having played host to some of the most influential artists on the planet since 24 October 1942.
Now you have the power to get one of ten bands a gig there using a Facebook app. What’s cooler is that by voting you and a friend stand a chance to join them in London for the gig.
