I wasn't sure just which section to post this in, so please feel free to move it if it's in the wrong place.
We certainly have produced some great singers/bands in Birmingham and the Black Country, but I'd like to put a word in for those who never 'made it' but were still part of a thriving live music scene in Birmingham.
Unfortunately I don't remember names, but I do remember the fun we had listening and dancing to them. My venue was the Lyndon. We used to go in the bar first to pick who was playing in our football team and then we moved into the music area and drank and danced and listened. There were some great bands and great night.
I wonder if they still have live entertainment at the Lyndon, or is it all discos now.
These bands would never have made it big, but they were big to us in the 60s.
Perhaps you played in some of these bands. If so, you gave a lot of entertainment and your contribution to the music scene in Brum should be valued highly.
Perhaps some of you danced the night away at the Lyndon at the same time as me and can remember the bands.
Happy days!
