GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
During my (mis-spent?) youth in the late fifties/early sixties, I used to go to quite a few jazz clubs. Tops was, of course, the Midland Jazz Club in Deritend (before it moved to Aston). Second City Jazzmen were usually there and they had top visiting bands: Kenny Ball, Chris Barber etc. Then there was the Piccadilly Jazz Club in the Piccadilly Arcade and also a good club in the pub at the end of Steelhouse Lane - I think it's called the Sack of Potatoes now. Great times, great bands, great music. Lots of beer and cider and good friends.
