The Falcon, Camden
The Falcon, later The Camden Falcon, was a pub and music venue located at 234 Royal College Street, in the London Borough of Camden, North London. It went from hosting low-key gigs in the late 1980s to becoming one of the most influential music venues of the 1990s. During this time it was owned by Baxter Mitchell and Alexis Hunter. The Barfly originally started as a series of concerts there, with disputes with the local authorities about crowd capacity eventually leading it to move to the Monarch in nearby Chalk Farm. Bands and musicians such as Blur (then named Seymour), Pulp, Lush, Slowdive, Inspiral Carpets, Suede, The Stereophonics, Feeder, Doves, PJ Harvey, Travis, Muse, Catatonia, and Coldplay all played there early on. The Sundays and Lush played their first concerts there (on separate occasions) in 1988. Ivo Watts-Russell signed Lush and Pale Saints to 4AD after seeing them both on the same bill there in 1989. Simon Williams first approached Coldplay about releasing on Fierce Panda Records upon seeing them play at The Falcon in 1998.
