    Love that advert! I never went to the Penthouse but I saw the Drifters at the Plaza and I remember both the DJs mentioned.

    Oh dear :( That's the building when the Penthouse Club was in the 60s wasn't it? Hope there's not too much damage done!

    We lived in Perry Barr and I remember there was a Sikh gentleman who came round door to door selling small items. My Mom didn't want anything but he gave her a lucky bead which she kept and I have now :)

    Gosh yes! I remember that winter as I was in my first year at senior school but I don't remember us having quite as many difficulties on a day to day basis in Birmingham?

    The billiard hall was also the Ritz club in the 60s/70s wasn't it - run by the Regans who also ran the Plaza in Handsworth and Old Hill? I went there a few times!
