Nice pic. Must have been a real english country atmosphere without the traffic.

Yes, I do know a bit of the history on Fleetwood Mac, from tv documentaries. But my knowledge of Brum history is rubbish, but I am getting better and this forum is the best place to learn. Some great info and members here.

Great story fisho. Fleetwood Mac, love em. Stevie Nicks has an amazing voice.

I like the bbc archive programmes. I watched a really interesting architecture programme, plus Arena programmes are interesting.

Nope, soaps don't do it for me either. Everyone seems to be at each others throat and shouting.

Some great stories, keep it coming. Lyn please look up your Froggatt.

Thanks Lyn. I still have some bottles for the raffle. Happy Christmas to you too.

Glad to hear your IBS is not as bad. And I can quite easily not bother with the tv, but it takes my mind off being in pain. My IBS is under control but it still gives me problems.

I have looked up Steve Winwood on you tube, very interesting, I will look at the other recommendations asap. He still has a bit of a Brummie accent which is great. What an amazing voice he had and still has, he must have drawn in the crowds. Good times those days must have been.

I like watching stuff on the bbc iplayer, also the itv hub and c4. Walter presents is good on c4, I like the european dramas. But, I've got through a lot of programmes, sometimes I have bad nights due to IBS. What do you watch?

Oh wow, to think you have seen them, that's great. I would have loved to have lived in the 60's. I will look up the sites. Great, thanks for the info. The Spencer Davis Group, I'm the man, I heard that and thought it was an American group. I was delighted to learn that Steve Winwood was from...

Yes, and key hill brian gave me some maps too. It's just a case of finding them.

Thanks, I will look these up. I don't men to make you feel old, but it was before my time. Sixties rock is timeless I am trying to learn about it and where better to start than where I was born, Birmingham, UK!

From the pics it looks quite tidy. Is this the work of volunteers? I have 9 Strawbridge relations buried here, and I only know where 2 of them are, I wanted to get there this summer to try and find the others, but it didn't happen unfortunately.

Where did Sabbath play in Brum when they were Black Sabbath? I wonder if Steve Winwood still has his accent like Ozzy!

Viv, thank you, appreciate it. I look forward to the Kelly's look up, I am sure there is enough expertise here to look up the name. Anachem, would that have been a Birmingham firm at that time? Sorry for all of the questions, but it is so interesting.

What a fab little pic, really kind of Eric, I have an 'Eric' that I won and I love it, they are addictive. I haven't been on the forum for a while, and I have missed a couple of meetings, so I haven't got to see the latest 'Eric's'. I was on the hunt to see what he had been painting when I...

I recently looked up some information about a Birmingham pub that was used for gigs. It got me thinking, which pubs in Birmingham have been used by local musicians or groups that have been or are famous?

I sort of remember where the wholesale market is, but only going back to the city centre about 6 times a year max in the 80's, I can't remember anything else in the pics, I do feel for you all seeing Birmingham changing again, it is sad to see. I really hope that the change will be for the...

Great, thanks Viv, I hope so, it would be nice to know, I didn't realise Steve Winwood was from Birmingham, I wonder if he misses Brum?
