Many famous artists performed at the Guildford Civic Hall, including Eric Clapton, Deep Purple (28 November 1969), and Dire Straits.[1] 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.[6]
