Iconic Tunes From The Wag Club 1983-1987. Join us with the Welsh Wag himself Mr Chris Sullivan, proprietor, manager, founder and originator of arguably Central London's last great Night Club: The Wag at 35 Wardour Street, Soho, London, which ran for almost two decades from 1982 til 2001. The Wag helped lay the foundations and gave a home to many of the very best underground club scenes and cultures that we all know and love today.
