Met my husband at the Rainbow great place for a saturday night our fave was reggae, happy memories, also top rank with the two floors.
While at school some point between 1965-70, perhaps 1968, I went to see various blues 'legends' touring together at a gig at Digbeth Civic Hall. Rows of individual school type chairs were put out, lol. I have always said Muddy Waters was one of the musicians and another famous guy who said 'only a few weeks ago I was working in a car factory in US when someone asked me if I wanted to do a blues tour'. Hope someone else recalls this event.Yes, Digbeth Civic Hall was good. Saw the Pretty Things there a few times.
Yes, Crystals was on Park St, then became , if not next door to, Lorenzo's Italian restaurant ,top class , used by all the ATV stars of the day, then turned into Birmingham's second Adult Club (swingers to most people ).....called ? ..can't remember at this momentI'm an old Townie from the late seventies and early eighties. Does anyone remember Crystals nightclub on Park street?
I can remember both Rainbow Room and Mayfair. Went mainly to RainbowDoes anybody remember the Mayfair Suite. I think it was somewhere in the bullring. There was also The Rainbow Room above the Co OP.
The Rainbow Room. Yes remember it well, used to go weekly. I think it used to specialise in a lot of blues. I can't remember the Mayfair Suit was that around in the mid 60's also?

Ray, welcome to The Forum, enjoy!I used to manage Mr Moons night club back in the 80’s
John I saw Rod Stewart at the Mayfair, Probably 1970/71. You could virtually stand next to the bands if you were at the front of the stage.

Shame . Remember of all candidates he was the best dressed. Never made it Westminster because he could never tell a lie. RIP.Yes!
Do you remember he started the Raving Loony Party and stood for Parliament usually lost his deposit.
The Rainbow Room was fab, I loved it there in the 1960s. I still have my membership photo! Did you ever go onto the roof?I can remember both Rainbow Room and Mayfair. Went mainly to Rainbow
yes met my first wife there, and that says it all....1977.Anyone remember "Mr. Moons" over the top of the ATV Studios?
Tommy Cooper...was an absolute bore we walked out half way through...wot u see on tv is different to realtime.This was it cookie....had other names....in Bristol Street....saw Roy Orbison there....

how about the over 21 club in the ...??????????..opp la dolce vitaThe Rainbow Room was fab, I loved it there in the 1960s. I still have my membership photo! Did you ever go onto the roof?
Walked out? My word, I just have to look at him to laugh. He had an infectious humour, just a sideways glance and I couldn't help but smile. I still thoroughly enjoy his programmes. I didn't ever get to see him on the stage, but I have never heard anything but good things about Tommy previously and recorded parts of his live appearances, that I have seen have also been very amusing. I haven't walked out half way through a performance myself, but was in the audience at the Odeon, that Elvis Costello walked out on, after about 25 minutes....Tommy Cooper...was an absolute bore we walked out half way through...wot u see on tv is different to realtime.
