Me too. Remember it well. I once bought a Stiff Little Fingers album in there but had to take it back because they'd accidentally (?) inserted a classical music record in the sleeve instead... I put it on expecting to hear 'Wasted Life' or 'Suspect Device' and all I got was a violin concerto!

Some good snaps there.
In this one of the pier, you can see a sign that says CONCORDE. Is this a sign pointing down Madeira Drive to the Concorde 2 or was there another Concorde to which is refers?

Yes but what was the original Concorde? Surely the present site has been the same for many moons

Excellent finds, there is a comment on this clip that says "After 01:02 it remains unclear exactly where the journey takes us." Well it's western Road coming back towards the Clock Tower with the old Churchill Square on the right handside.

As does the Preston Road snap.
The Legend that IS Lawro
It's 'canard' Del
Was an 'intimate' bar with a stage area for gigs. Saw many events there of varying quality but was certainly dated prior to being moved along the road.

That is the site of the original Concord club, it was a bit of a dive but had some legendary nights down there, my favourite was the BigBeatBoutique nights, it's where Norman Cook started and where FatBoy Slim was created. The Concord got knocked down when they did the redevelopment of that part when they put the Burger King and the arcades there.
I believe the Concord then had nights at the Honey and Beach clubs on kings road arches whilst they redeveloped the current site along the strip. Which used to a bikers cafe if I remember rightly. Had some cracking nights in the new venue too.

Thanks. I don't remember the old site at all, although it was obviously still standing not THAT long ago. Always wondered about the significance of the 2 in the name of the current Concorde. Now I know.

I'm not exactly sure but I think the late 90's, possibly early 2000's, that time of my life (teens to early 20's) is all a bit of a chemically induced blurr.
Always great to see these type of snaps... well done
