Here I got to dance with Bob from Bob and Marcia and Edwin Starr and get judged in a dance competition by Tony Blackburn - I came 2nd. I used to get there early and go downstairs where Les Ross was the dj - as it was quiet, he used to come out onto the floor and we'd dance to his favourite Cold Sweat by James Brown. Loved this place. I also loved the Locarno on mondays, Top Rank tuesdays, Rainbow wednesdays and saturdays. I think the coolest club back then was the Heartbeat - easily the best ska was played there. Another cool place was The Ritz in Kings Heath which is where I saw Geno Washington. Brum was a great place to be a teenager back then.
