Guildford Civic Hall

Guildford Civic Hall was an arts and entertainment venue in Guildford, Surrey, England. Opened in 1962, it closed in January 2004[1] and has since been demolished. Many famous artists performed at the Guildford Civic Hall, including Eric Clapton and Dire Straits[1], and the King Crimson album Live in Guildford was recorded at the venue on November 13, 1972[2]. By 2010 development was underway for a new ₤26 million replacement facility on the same site,[3][4][5] which opened as G Live in September 2011.
