Richard Hammond is from Solihull I think.
I do recall one episode of Top Gear where they drove through Birmingham (and saw all the former car factory sites - e.g. Rover in Longbridge).
Black Sabbath recently played a gig at the NIA Birmingham.
While around Xmas time, Noddy Holder and Roy Wood played at the Town Hall and Symphony Hall!

Hi OldBrit: The outline for Geezer Butler and Tony Iommi is on the Brumbeat site and gives lots of info: https://www.brumbeat.net/blacksab.htm
Of course, Ozzy's is on there as well.

Hi all, I was driving through aston whilst at work, and I enquired of the new chap I was working with if he had seen ozzys house, he said he had,nt so I turned into lodge rd and up to number 14 and pointed it out, he looked at me puzzled and said I thought he lived in los angeles. michael
Really off topic with regards to this thread,
Having read his book I know that Richard Hammond was born in Solihull and went to Solihull school( so not a Brummie then) but went to live in Yorkshire whilst young and went to Ripon Grammar school.
He is proud of the fact that his grandparents worked in the car industry in Birmingham.
