Live at the Fairfield Hall, Croydon is a live album released in 1991 by pop group Bucks Fizz. It was their first and only release with Jet Records.
The album was recorded in September 1990 and released six months later to commemorate the group's 10th Anniversary. By this time, the group was down to three members: Bobby G, Cheryl Baker and Mike Nolan, member Shelley Preston having left at the end of 1989. The album consisted of many of Bucks Fizz's hit singles and cover versions of popular hits, although didn't include the entire concert. The cover photos were not taken at the Fairfield Halls gig as featured on the album, as the shots taken had been damaged, and so new ones were taken in early March 1991 at a private gig at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London. The album was released two weeks later in time for their Eurovision anniversary on 4 April. The release of the album coincided with the closure of record company Jet, resulting in it receiving little promotion. The album failed to chart.
In 2012, during sessions for The Lost Masters albums, two tracks taken from this concert were uncovered which had not been included. These were medleys - one of old Motown hits, the other of Rolling Stones songs. These were included on the third edition of The Lost Masters.
Fairfield Halls is a concert venue in Croydon, South London.
