Happy Birthday!

Wow...a very nice piece of furniture! I'm sure one of our members will be able to help with some information.

Gosh yes, I remember some of those bands! Galliard, and Erskine T who was a DJ and also worked at the Elbow Room and Mothers. The Locomotive and the band Ten Years After who became quite well known and played at the Woodstock Festival! ...and of course Carl Wayne and the Vikings, some of whose...

Gosh....some memories of the Bull! The staircase going up to the room where the bands played in the mid 60s! Known then as the Hereford Lounge.

Me too! That was my bus route into Town, the number 16, must have passed the Pelican hundreds of times!

Great photo! That was the larger side stage wasn't it! If I remember correctly, during the Carlton days there was a small semi circular stage at the end of the room and the larger stage to the left of it. When it became Mothers it was rearranged with just a large stage at the end.

Yes, I was sorry to hear that yesterday. I saw her at the old Ronnie Scott's in Broad Street back in the 80s, she was performing Jacque Brel songs (I think it was!) quite different from her original stuff, very theatrical. It was very good. RIP Marianne

Yes, it's there although not quite it's original form... https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/food-drink-news/birmingham-buffet-restaurant-serving-100-30229087

My first thought - this picture looks like a little face!
