Subject: RE: BS: Is bring a Brummie a state of mind?
The Metro? Under Snow Hill. They had a folk club there too which I played often. The Eagle, Hill Street, had a Blues club run by young Spencer Davis who was a student then I think. The Holy Ground folk club in a pub at the back of the hall of memory,Irish based, where we sang rebel songs not really knowing their provenance and thinking they were history anyway. History later proved us wrong.
MacDonalds folk club at the Australian bar Hurst Street, so named as a slap in the face to the Campbells and the Jug Of Punch folk club. I think the residents were dissident rejects from the Jug.
Oh it was a ferment, a hotbed back them I tell you. Passions were high and we were young!!!
