Memories of famous Birmingham nightclub the Elbow Room as co ...


The Elbow Room closed in May 2012 after shots had been fired outside the venue on 28th April. CCTV footage showed a man taking aim at a victim. Club owner at the time Colin Rogan said he was forced to close after this incident at trouble re-licensing wrangle.

 
Interesting that the Brum Elbow Room predates the London one. Don't remember the dance ir the record. Nice to see collaboration from two Birmingham lads.

Interesting!
I didn't know there had been an Elbow Room club in London and wondered whereabouts it was, I just had a quick look but can't see anything.

This is the record by The Habits referred to, produced by Spencer Davis and Steve Winwood, can hear Steve on backing vocals.
 
Thanks ! The Elbow Room was a pub in Notting Hill. It was at 103 Westbourne Grove. Must have had live music. Amazing, I worked in Chepstow Place for a while around the corner, but never heard of the place!
