It was then converted into the "Sundown Centre" rock venue in September 1972, but was not a success and the "Sundown" closed down some four months later; in 1981, the venue re-opened as a rock venue called "The Fair Deal"; the venue was bought by Simon Parkes in 1983 and in the same year re-opened as "Brixton Academy")
