Birmingham Nightclubs of the Past - Memories

Yes, Digbeth Civic Hall was good. Saw the Pretty Things there a few times.

While at school some point between 1965-70, perhaps 1968, I went to see various blues 'legends' touring together at a gig at Digbeth Civic Hall. Rows of individual school type chairs were put out, lol. I have always said Muddy Waters was one of the musicians and another famous guy who said 'only a few weeks ago I was working in a car factory in US when someone asked me if I wanted to do a blues tour'. Hope someone else recalls this event.

Does anybody remember the Mayfair Suite. I think it was somewhere in the bullring. There was also The Rainbow Room above the Co OP.

I can remember both Rainbow Room and Mayfair. Went mainly to Rainbow

The Rainbow Room. Yes remember it well, used to go weekly. I think it used to specialise in a lot of blues. I can't remember the Mayfair Suit was that around in the mid 60's also?
