Birmingham Nightclubs of the Past - Memories

[Down Memory Lane]

I used to work the cocktail bar @ MILLIONAIRES nightclub (now offices) for couple of years from around 1989 when I was 18 years old, and also the bar @ THE DOME nightclub..... not sure what that is now?? I'm sure it was an O2 Academy maybe? Not sure if it is even open anymore?

Interestingly, our paths followed a similar course for a while.

Villan I take to be you being a Villa fan? My wife and I are season ticket holders in the Trinity Road Stand, have been for years.

Does Dartmouth High relate to the secondary school that used to be on Wilderness Lane which was knocked down and replaced by the Q3 Academy? Both my wife and I went to Dartmouth (it’s where we met), I left there in 1980 after my A Levels.

I used to work in Centre City Tower on Hill Street at various times during the early to mid 1980s and frequented Thursdays, which then changed to The Millionaire (although everybody called it Millionaires). By 1989, when you were working there, I was DJing in town myself.

I also went to the Dome to the student nights to keep on top of what students were listening to for my own DJing.

It’s a small world!
