History
Patterns is situated at 10 Marine Parade, an address with a long history as a music venue. The building was previously the site of Field's Pier Hotel, before being demolished in the 1930s.[3] The venue was known as The Pier and early in its life and during the late 1970s was somewhat of a hotspot for the local punk movement.[4][5] The club also incorporated Ted Potter's Music Bar in its downstairs.[6] Later, the venue became known as The Bucaneer, The Royal Escape and then The Escape.[6] The club later became Audio in 2004.[7]
In 2011, then owner John Holland sold the venue to Mothership Group. In 2015, the club was remodelled and rebranded as Patterns, which opened later that year on the 13th May.[7]
