This was the original Concorde venue! The one which opened many moons ago opposite the Palace Pier, and was eventually bulldozed late in 1998 to make room for the Aquarium Terraces. This low-ceilinged establishment had a very much local feel as opposed to the Concorde 2 nowadays has. You would often get a night with a few local acts on the same bill. -- from Brighton and Hove News

"I went to university in Brighton and the May 1995 show at the original Concorde was my first Robyn show!
I saw a bunch of great shows there - Blue Aeroplanes, Sebadoh, Royal Trux. It was a really cool small venue. R.I.P." - Marcus S.
