Damn! (Can I say that on this forum?) Would have loved to have been there!
Main frustration of being overseas, can't attend local évents.

I attended one of his talks a few years ago, it was amazing, he is so enthusiastic about Birmingham.

I was booked to go to one of his Peaky blinder nights before Christmas, couldn't go because I had a stinking cold. Glad it was good.

Kat,
Wed 13 March is the next Real Peaky Blinders talk. At the Old Library near the Custard factory. I'm looking forward to it.

As I understand it from the ticket, it is at the Zellig building (part of the old custard factory), which is next to the old library
