This is a great place for seeing and hearing lesser known but hugely talented bands and artists! Concorde 2 is an intimate venue and has a nice bar and friendly staff. I have never know there to be any trouble as there is plenty of security. Sometimes they even let you meet the band after the show!

 Magic!!! by Mariajoy Saw two great bands here last night... Hal and the Magic Numbers. Hal are an Irish band and the Magic Numbers are English. Both are fab! Go and see them if they are anywhere near you!
Anything. Shell suits would look a bit silly here though and anything too *chavvy*. Leave a Comment

We saw Tom Baxter here - he and his band gave a fabulous performance with loads of tracks from his Feather and Stone album and lots of new, heavier stuff, from his forthcoming album to be released early 2006. There are all kinds of musicians/bands/singers etc etc performing here so check the website to see whats on if you are visiting Brighton. Unfortunately photography is not allowed inside the venue unless previously arranged with the management. There are stages upstairs and downstairs - the downstairs is larger and there are tables and seating if you get there early enough. Both venues have bars - and they also serve coffee. A great evening out if you are in the area and looking for cool nightlife!

 Marguarita ! by amapola66 My favourite little bar that serves the best cocktail in Brighton. They are slightly pricey, but take it from me, you shouldn't be able to drink more than two! This bar is small, so if the hotel is busy, you may not get in. I can highly recommend the Whiskey Sour (and you can always book a room at this boutique hotel for a romantic occasion if you don't fancy the stagger home). The friendly bar staff take great pride in the quality of their coctails and have won awards for best coctails/barstaff and such. You will never get a 'ready mix' here. The hotel also has a restaurant and occasionally, celebrity bingo! Wonderfully kitsch.

 Gabriella dances Allegrias by amapola66 "The Old Market has the potential to take the musical crown away from some of the more established venues in Brighton....it looks great, it sounds great (Real Brighton). Built in 1828 by eminent local architect Charles Busby, the Grade II listed building was originally a working market. The venue has a wonderfully eclectic variety of shows, rock & pop, including world music, flamenco, jazz, classical, theatre etc etc I last saw resident Brighton band 'Kandela', featuring my dear amiga, the lovely Gabriela (pictured) and flamenco guitarrist Steve Holmes and Indie rocksters 'Low'. The venue was relaxed, roomy and they very especially nice to the children we had with us.
Relaxed.

 sorry its so rubbish - it was the stage lights! by Mariajoy We saw the fabulous David Ford performing here at the Ocean Rooms. The venue is off the beaten path up a side road from Grand Parade. There is a market opposite the venue which was closed and a really good little cafe (Market Cafe) which stays open all hours - serves big mugs of coffee for a pound and has some seriously dodgy toilets... But more about the Ocean Rooms. When we arrived we really weren't sure if we had found the right place as there is nothing saying *Ocean Rooms* ANYWHERE - just three large black doors with some VERY strange writings above it that look like biblical sayings but not quite - sorry that doesn't make much sense but you would know if you saw it! We stood outside for ages chatting to other gig-goers waiting for the sound checks to be completed before we went in 15 mins later than the time specified on the tickets (which were 6GBP btw). The interior is very dark with just a few red lamps. There is a bar and some nice long red velvety raised benches along on the other side of the room. The stage is VERY small and there are no barriers. A really friendly and intimate little place. David Ford was fabulous and sang all the songs off his debut album I sincerely apologise for all the trouble I've caused The album is fantastic and he signed mine for me at the bar at the end of the night :)

 Setting Sun Pub, Brighton by amapola66 A pub with a great relaxed atmosphere - like walking into your living room. The views across Brighton are splendid. This is a good pub to have a long game of scrabble in on a Sunday afternoon. Friendly, comfy sofas and they serve organic wine What more do you want?! The pub hosts an occasional 'alternative' pub quiz - which I can assure you, is riotous! *oct 06 update - have heard, this pub changed management, and is not as good as it was. will investigate - since discvovered that the unday roasts are no more*

 Old band buddies Neil and Ian of Mojave 3 by amapola66, 1 more photos *July '08 - Sadly I think this venue has now closed * The Cable Club have been putting on local & unsigned bands at the Pressure Point for a while now. It's not usually expensive to get in (£3/£4), never too crowded and the p.a. is half decent. Btter known indie bands occaionally play here too. Downstairs is a bar where you can have a drink before you go up. There is usually a dj spinning cool roots reggae. Edit : I recently ventured down to the Pressure Point to see a band I used to play with, 4 AD's 'Mojave 3'. This time, the entry was £11 (although not for moi, I hasten to add!). Rumoured to be their swansong record/tour, they gave us our moneys worth, with an extensive set list and a great sound. It was nice catching up with the guys after. Also pictured KB's band 'Fuji Heavy' . If you're in the vicinity, try and catch a gig - the suited and booted rascals have some great catchy songs and they rock!

 P and a new friend at the Western Front by Mariajoy Once again I was dragged out by P on a work night to a great little pub in Brighton where they have live acoustic music on a Tuesday night. It's all free and they have various artists performing. It's starts around 9 and goes on til 11 and organised by BadgerMusic. Check the link. The musicians play upstairs but get there early as space is limited. Oh and btw.... we had a blast! :))
