Does anyone have photos of inside the place ? stage, I worked there as a folk singer, singing Jazz next door at the Opposite Lock. Jasper Carrot was also with us. Martin Hone opened it... an idea ahead of it's time that was popular for a while. Then Martin turned it into a venue where a lot of named bands performed there. Someone must have some photos. I have one of me and two twins I also joined to sing with, I will try and dig them out. Lost in the midst of time. I am Shirley Kent. Happy New Year campers.
 
There is a thread here which mentions the place and also a photograph of you!

Opposite Lock Club

Does anyone remember the "Opposite Lock" Club ?? It was on a canal in Birmingham on the Broad Street side of the city and you entered the club from the canal bank (Canal Street?). It was very lively place and the DJ was an avid Birmingham City FC fan who punctuated the evening's gyrations...

Edit to add....was it the space next to the Opposite Lock that used to be a club called The Factory in the late 60s? I went there a few times.
