Don't no if its been mentioned previously in this thread, but anybody remember the Penthouse Suit on Constitutional Hill. Surfside Stop coffee bar on the ground floor. You had to take a fur lined lift up to the club on the top floor. They sometimes put on all nighters, and if you were still there in the morning , you had a free breakfast. I never got mine as I never stopped all night.
Saw the group The Locomotive there in about 1966. They went on to have record success with the song Rudis in love.
Brummie band I think.
Also remember going to a short lived nightclub called The Factory in Gas Street in 1969. Think it was part of the Opposite Lock club. Probably in the same building that became Bobby Browns. Anybody remember.
I remember going to Mothers Club Erdington in 1968 to see The Who. Incredible really, The Who were a top band then with many hit records behind them.They performed many tracks from there yet to be released Tommy album. Keith Moon the drummer passed out during there set, the roadies had to revive him by throwing a bucket of water over him. The place was heaving with people. Such a small club. Access was up the fire escape by the side building.
What fabulous memories.
Other clubs I frequented in the 60s and 70s The Swan at Yardley saw Rory Gallagher and Taste, Peter Greens Fleetwood Mac, and the Kinks there.
The Belfry Wishaw, saw The Move, Moody Blues, Roxy Music and Screaming Lord Such and the Undertakers there.
There was a disco club I went to in about 1968 on the Chester Road, Castle Bromwich, anybody remember what it was called, was it Checkers.
What great times. Love to hear from others who remember these times.
